Well, the thing here is more about the fact that the match function is
silently being hijacked - it should be possible to do this in the device
registrations. I'd expect you could get a non-DT kernel which was
affected, but you'd probably have to try.

I'd be really keen to get this code merged sooner rather than later for
ASoC development so if there's a way to do it separately to fixing the
filtering that'd be good.
