Since the driver private structure is shared between two different
codecs, the platform_data struct can be of 2 different types, but I
guess it should be OK to have two fields or a
union in the private struct.

I was thinking about this too but chose the approach above since providing
platform_data is optional. However, I could add some default values and
submit again.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
