That's a "whatever" from the ASoC point of view.  I don't particularly
care about the userspace ABI, on the one hand there aren't that many
ACPI 5 devices that might be affected and there's other devices that
won't work anyway.  On the other hand I guess there's other devices that
would have worked with the old kernel.
