[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/8] ALSA: Add DSP firmware loader (resub)

[Ian Minett]

From: Ian Minett <ian_minett at creativelabs.com>

>Thanks for the patches, and sorry for the late response, 
No problem, and sorry for ours too- we've been working on fixing the issues you
raised last time. Hopefully this submission will sort out many of those items.
Macros have been taken out, comments added, and firmware is now cached.

>Keep the git commit author as me.
Ok. I ensured you were set as the git commit author for the first two patchfiles. 
Is there anything else I need to do to properly retain your authorship on those 
commits?

>- Why hda_stream_format is defined?
hda_stream_format is defined to store the stream format information used for 
the DSP download.

Thanks,
- Ian
