For ease of further development, I merged a part of this big patch
series, the ones doing merely code shuffling or some obvious things.
Namely, the dice changes below:

>   ALSA: dice: suppress checkpatch.pl warnings
>   ALSA: dice: Rename structure and its members
>   ALSA: dice: Move file to its own directory
>   ALSA: dice: Split transaction functionality into a file
>   ALSA: dice: Split stream functionality into a file
>   ALSA: dice: Split PCM functionality into a file
>   ALSA: dice: Split hwdep functionality into a file
>   ALSA: dice: Split proc interface into a file
>   ALSA: dice: Add new functions for constraints of PCM parameters
>   ALSA: dice: remove experimental state

... and oxfw changes below...

>   ALSA: oxfw: Move to its own directory
>   ALSA: oxfw: Split stream functionality to a new file and add a header
>     file
>   ALSA: oxfw: Split PCM functionality to a new file
>   ALSA: oxfw: Split control functionality to a new file

... are merged now.  And the rest:

>   ALSA: dice: Change the way to start stream
>   ALSA: dice: Add support for duplex streams with synchronization
>   ALSA: dice: Support for non SYT-Match sampling clock source mode
>   ALSA: dice: Add support for capturing PCM samples
>   ALSA: dice: Add support for MIDI capture/playback
>   ALSA: oxfw: Change the way to name card
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add support for AV/C stream format command to get/set
>     supported stream formation
>   ALSA: oxfw: Change the way to make PCM rules/constraints
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add proc interface for debugging purpose
>   ALSA: oxfw: Change the way to start stream
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add support for Behringer/Mackie devices
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add support AMDTP in-stream
>   ALSA: oxfw: add support for capturing PCM samples
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add support for capture/playback MIDI messages
>   ALSA: oxfw: Add hwdep interface

... about these, I'd like to receive more reviews and/or test
reports.
