If so, the existing set could be split into USB-changes series, ALSA/ASoC-framework series and a third, holding bulk of QCOM-specific patches. Me and my team care mostly about the sound/* part and we don't hold much expertise in USB. I believe Mathias covers this part well though.

I'm fine to split this into 3 different series if that helps with the reviews.  I was always under the impression that when we upstream things, we need to have an end to end use case within the same series, so that folks get the full picture.  I've gotten feedback where people were confused they couldn't find/follow the code flow, albeit those series were much much smaller.  If Greg is ok with it, I can split it up and have a link reference to the other series.


I was able to reorganize the list a bit to what you recommended.  So the current layout is xHCI changes first, followed by the USB ALSA and ASoC changes, and lastly the QCOM/vendor specific modifications.


Thanks
