Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm okay with that.  We can always add properties to those 
nodes if it's necessary.  However, now you're basically defining some parts of 
the board layout in the DTS, and some parts in the fabric driver.  On PowerPC 
platforms, the fabric driver is supposed to get board layout information from 
the device tree.

It's a battle of wills!

This should probably be codec0, since it's the first code on this I2S bus.

My vote is for this version.  In fact, I think it *has* to be this way.  If 
you're using a CS4270 codec (as I am), the I2C interface is *optional*.  So I 
want the I2S node to point to the I2C node if it exists.
