All right, It's my fault to mix a clean up patch. It may hold until the
merge window is closed.

I remembered someone already explained the dependencies. It depends
on imx pinctrl work and dummy pinctrl enabled in ARM platform code. It
is why Shawn suggest it goes to ARM SoC.

All righ, It's ok, if you think, I have to wait for one more cycle to
see the patch on mainline.

Except the clean up patch, others are all related to enable audio. Do
you mean I supposed to split them in advance?

hmm.. I should write more about dependencies in commit message.

OK.
