some ALSA drivers use their own i2c functions, although there is a
generic i2c layer on linux kernel.  for example, delta.c or ews.c of
ice1712 driver use i2c (SPI) transfer (which calls ak4xxx-adda.c).
but it's rather complex to refer...

the i2c transfer is really easy to implement.  do just like the spec
says.  a pseudo code is like below.

        chip_select_low();
        udelay(1);

        for (i = 15; i >= 0; i--) {
                set_bit_clock(0);
                udelay(1);
                if (value_to_send & (1 << i))
                        set_bit_data(1);
                else
                        set_bit_data(0);
                udelay(1);
                set_bit_clock(0);
                udelay(1);
        }

        chip_select_high();

the dummy driver is irrelevant to the BUS type, so it makes some sense
to read the code :)
