Having tried to apply the patches on top of my previous pull request to
David (sent on 15th July), it would be much better if we waited.  David
is away at the moment, apparently due back in a little over a week's time.
Hence, there's no processing of any development pull requests at the
moment, which is why it hasn't shown up in linux-next.

My series is based on 9203dd016a5d ("ALSA: pcm: add IEC958 channel status
helper") which pre-dates the fixes to get_modes() to return non-zero,
which are already in Linus' tree.  I _could_ rebase it, but that's not
good practice once it's been asked to be pulled.

At the moment, my tree does not introduce any conflicts.

Trying to merge your patch will create conflicts: if I merge the fix into
my tree, we end up with duplicate commits.  If I tweak your patch to
apply to my tree as the code used to stand, git will end up with two
conflicting changes.  If I merge mainline into my tree, Linus doesn't
like cross-merges.
