Tosa has a battery that is hanging on the wm97xx codec (9712 if somebody
cares). The platform device for it is registered in the wm97xx-core and
then used by tosa-battery driver. If you'd like to clean up this mess
properly, you should:

1) add a clean possibility to pass platform data via ac97 bus to wm97xx
core driver (care to check that it should be passable both via regular
ac97 driver and via ASoC).

2) add a possibility to pass device names and platform data to
wm97xx-core child devices (battery, ts , etc.)
