Ah.  I did not read all the way to the end of the patch.

The bugfix needs to be sent as it's own patch.  Just the one liner.  It
needs a fixes tag as well.

[PATCH] staging: greybus: fix Oops in error message

The "module" pointer is invalid here.  It's the list iterator and we
exited the loop without finding a valid entry.

Fixes: 6dd67645f22c ("greybus: audio: Use single codec driver registration")
Signed-off-by: You

 	if (!data) {
-		dev_err(dai->dev, "%s:%s DATA connection missing\n",
-			dai->name, module->name);
+		dev_err(dai->dev, "%s DATA connection missing\n",
+			dai->name);
 		mutex_unlock(&codec->lock);

We're happy to apply the other stuff as well, but we don't mix cleanups
and bug fixes like that.

regards,
dan carpenter
