I'd take it up with him, if you can explain why it looks very
repetitive but isn't actually that'd help...

Building up copies of the repeated IPs with macros would help too (the
AIF and especially frame control registers stick out like a sore thumb
here), as would removing the individual registers for the write
sequencer block.
