I'm posting this as a series of 2 for the sound changes only. Would be
easiest to merge separately via sound/for-next, and the gpiolib-of
change via gpio. However, this could break bisecting.
Since the respective precondition commits are only in the sound tree,
this would be the only one practical for merging a single combined
patch (combining those 3). Would this be OK for the GPIO maintainers?
It's practically only a one-line change in gpiolib-of.c that would come
in via sound.
Thanks in advance,
Roland
