I'd also say that the sound driver isn't ready for production use and it
misuses the BestComm task for generic bidirectional buffer copies by
forcing it to 32-bit transfers (this obviously involves some software
upsampling at some point as nearly all common sound data is 16-bit,
also twice the band
Clarification: I really have to disagree with this patch, and Sven.
The whole point of removing the stuff from the Linux kernel (as the
efika.forth script and the associated patch performs) is that it means
the Linux kernel is no longer a "moving target" for our firmware
development.

Woo! Thanks Olaf. I was just about to sit down and write something
like this myself. Looks good to me. I'll pick this up (but I'm going
to move it to the fixup_device_tree_efika() function)
