Really what you're having to do here is fairly nasty and there's no good reason for it to be supported - if something is being registered dynamically and passing instantiation specific data around it really should be the device and not the driver.
What we need is a way for the codec driver to do its stuff without needing a socdev.
I think I see your point, though. I'm calling i2c_add_driver, which technically could result in my i2c_probe function being called multiple times, if there are multiple matches in the device tree. I'll have to check that out on Monday.

bad is a win on the part of the I2C core. For now an idiomatic solution for ASoC drivers is to have a single static variable that you use to get the socdev through.
Well, that's what I do today. I was hoping to avoid that, but if I'm right about i2c_add_driver, then this trick doesn't really work either.
