Isn't it possible to special-case the CS5520 code, so both CS5520 and
CS5530 will work in the kernel?

Yes and no. The CS5530 code in the kernel is definately broken, that
part should be fixed in the kernel, IMHO. We could add a hack in
LinuxBIOS, but the real fix has to happen in the kernel if I'm not
mistaken.
