Maybe there's a mistake here? Are you sure these are required N800 drivers? The tsc2301-core is staying; perhaps they're doing the audio mixing differently now?

How dare they declare my beloved N800s LEGACY!? They're only two years old! OK, the N800 has been discontinued, and two years is a long time in this market, but come on, guys!
Heh Well we're trying to move all the driver development to the
proper driver mailing lists instead of carrying them in the
linux-omap tree. If the drivers just sit in the linux-omap tree,
they won't go anywhere and won't get properly reviewed either.
That's why they're called "legacy", not because they are too old.

The goal is to make things usable with the mainline kernel. For
audio, there's a way better framework already called ASoC.

Somebody just needs to write the N800 driver for it. N810 already
works with ASoC! See sound/soc/omap in your kernel tree.
