I was the one who started using cell-index in the first place; but
I've had a change of opinion and I think doing it by address would be
better.  That being said, it doesn't hurt to have the cell-index
property in there.  If/when we rework the drivers to use address, then
it will just be a harmless and superfluous property.

BTW, is anyone trying to shepherd this driver into the ALSA tree?  Its
out of my area of expertise and responsibility, so I haven't been
pursuing it.
