Should »the summing« be »in summary«?

So as a consequence everyone using `model=auto` can drop that from
`/etc/modprobe.d/`?

I do not know how high the regression chance might be, but if there is
any, maybe split the patch and write all models in the commit summary

        ALSA: hda - Use auto parser for ASUS UX50, Eeepc P901, Eeepc S101 and P1005HA

for people looking through the commit log.
