No, you're not missing anything - that'll be what happens. If you need
to preserve the userspace ABI on your board you'd need a much bigger
(but very welcome) refactoring of the AC'97 code to be less hacky and
use the device model more directly, or at least define a generic AC'97
binding somehow. All the AC'97 support has never really been properly
moved over to the device model and unfortunately nobody's yet cared
about it for device tree except in the simple cases supported by the
generic AC'97 code. I appreciate that this isn't very helpful, it's
an unfortunate consequence of DT as an ABI.

We probably want to end up with something like what the Intel folks have
been doing recently for HDA to get that working within ASoC.
