Reviwed-by: Mark Brown Regardless of what we do with the Cirrus DSP this just seems like a good idea - surprises due to this not being generally available keep coming up, IIRC with the i.MX firmware in the past for example. > Not sure how we'd want to merge this patch, if two other things > need it.

Trying to enforce distinctions here feels like it's liable to lead to trouble at some point... --mPOSj6iWmtyhwOMz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmFTA38ACgkQJNaLcl1U h9DErAf7BZ8NtQuQy3+q/sK46z5J4UG49n7Ro2RwX1QsUE9ptW/j3QNct+oR2NtG 686Ywi+SLiwvjt9AOMEEwLrMr8VpbfKHtzNF3IFoqlZcIltP8SikGt7hl1drc7Ht 5s1rVT2od8Z49zvKru0SLEmIczlvfThmmEe7hH0klv/7eiYsIse//b/7UbCk03lc BSU0mVLjlyBSIN6k6yU5V/JUnUwwNaWlTMficv4UITM2Ba6zjFS2WE2NlUhLcCv/ yHwgZhRm3quHTTRoJDelHsIqz65f4GxgXsMm4Olo/IZswnUh9Uk/LNMKRcHvlPg2 lP63ixob10ht4mAPh8V0shZi3aeH4g== =nQ30 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mPOSj6iWmtyhwOMz-- --===============3763545521833154235== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel --===============3763545521833154235==--
