Just to confirm: this should be a simple one-line patch at the end of the series like diff --git a/tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h b/tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h index df1153cea0b7..72e8380c6dcd 100644 --- a/include/uapi/sound/asound.h +++ b/include/uapi/sound/asound.h @@ -154,7 +154,7 @@ struct snd_hwdep_dsp_image { * * *****************************************************************************/ -#define SNDRV_PCM_VERSION SNDRV_PROTOCOL_VERSION(2, 0, 14) +#define SNDRV_PCM_VERSION SNDRV_PROTOCOL_VERSION(2, 0, 15) typedef unsigned long snd_pcm_uframes_t; typedef signed long snd_pcm_sframes_t; right? Most other kernel interfaces have no version numbering, so I don't know what policy you have here.
