@sonus: In ASoC (which is a subproject of ALSA, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), there are a lot of codecs (driver kernel modules) for various sound chips. The MAX98090 module obviously is made for that chip, and not others with different features.
For the Linux 4.4 kernel currently in use for LEDE 17.01 on which Onion's firmware is based, the available ASoC codecs are in the sound/soc/codecs
subdirectory of the 4.4 kernel tree.
Of all these codecs, the current Onion build includes only those for WM8960 and MAX98090 (you can see that in the definition of sound-mt7620
which is in target/linux/ramips/modules.mk
in Onion's LEDE source tree.)
You can see the changes @Lazar-Demin made to add the MAX98090 in his commit here (only the WM8960 was included in original LEDE 17.01)
Further up in this thread you can read about how I added the MAX98357A for my own use, and got it to work thanks to help from @sza2-sza2.
Probably, many of the other Linux 4.4 ASoC codecs would work with the MT7688's i2s hardware too, but one has to try to find out.
However, for the TDA1543, I see no SoC codec yet, neither in the 4.4 tree nor in the latest 4.17 tree...
Probably it would be doable to make a codec - have a look at max98357a.c, it consists mostly of config parameter tables, and almost no code. The hard part is probably learning to understand what these parameters mean ;-)
