Hi Geert,

The answer is no, PXA is now specifically ported to work with the new AC97 bus
implementation, ie. AC97_BUS_NEW=y as in sound/ac97/.

The 2 implementations of AC97 bus, ie. CONFIG_AC97_BUS and CONFIG_AC97_BUS_NEW
are exclusive, they cannot coexist in the same kernel AFAIR.

Sorry for the late reply on this thread, but I moved house lately and I'm quite
busy, so my answers are delayed.

As a side note, I've seen somewhere in the patches this :
SND_SOC_WM971{2,3} depends on SND_SOC_AC97_BUS. This looks wrong to me, as it
implies that a wolfson wm97xx sound driver can only exist with
CONFIG_AC97_BUS=y, which is false, because it can exist with
CONFIG_AC97_BUS_NEW=y.

I also saw someone saying the CONFIG_SND_SOC_AC97_BUS_NEW didn't exist; this is
true, most likely because I forgot it when I created the new AC97 bus. I'd think
the natural fix would be to add CONFIG_SND_SOC_AC97_BUS_NEW just after his twin
definition in sound/soc/Kconfig, but I might be wrong ...

Cheers.
