If the patch is a regression fix or a stable fix, I can queue it for
4.7-final.  Others will go to 4.8-rc1.

I'm going to send a pull request tomorrow, so please submit in time.

We have similar issue before.

I think this is a case of the 'simple addition of device IDs'.

OK.

Probably, the model has unique quirk to lose quality of PCM substream of
current ALSA OXFW driver and I predict the patch is not in time of your
work.

Anyway, today, I wait for the tester's report.
