That somewhat depends on how you plan on doing things. I had
assumed you would be having a single machine driver with both
CODECs connected to it, in which case the statically allocated
snd_soc_card wouldn't be a problem. However, if you wanted to
have two seperate machine drivers with a single CODEC connected
to each then you would have an issue.

I guess either approach is reasonable and probably just depends
on what your end goal is.

Thanks,
Charles
