Ok, I missed that part in your email.

The Efika sound driver was not being compiled by default for a very
long time, so I think everyone just forgot about it.  I posted a patch
to enable it by default and fix the compilation errors, but I'm pretty
sure that it's succumbed to bit rot.  ALSA has changed, especially
with the introduction of device trees, and so now someone needs to fix
the Efika driver.
