I must confess I haven't ever tested a system with two Arizona
CODECs connected. Yes it seems you would get clashes on the
regulator names, I guess that would need to be fixed up. If you
were doing so wm831x-ldo.c would probably make a reasonable
example.

I guess you would need to be careful with the machine driver as
well, you will need to use a snd_soc_codec_conf structure for at
least one (although I would do both) of the CODECs to give  a
prefix for all the widget/control names, otherwise those will
clash and everything will probably behave very strangely. See
sound/soc/samsung/bells.c for an example doing this for wm9081.

Those are the only two things that spring to mind at the moment
but keep me informed on how you are getting on and I will let you
know if I can come up with any other traps.

Thanks,
Charles
