Hmm, you submitted multiple patches doing the similar things but the
error messages are handled completely differently in both cases.
Please make them consistent.

... and above all:

> -	snd_card_register(line6->card);
> +	if (snd_card_register(line6->card))
> +		pr_warn("Failed to register ALSA card.\n");

This error message is almost useless.  Better to use dev_*() variant.


thanks,

Takashi
