What is sound-next? A git branch? Where can I get it?
The sound tree is at: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/
You can use the master branch now, it has been merged there.
I'm no git expert but I had problem cloning the repository:
lano1106@whippet2 ~/dev $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/ Cloning into 'sound'... error: Unable to find 97c4de8fc0a47b99220b1209c7457c7dde05637a under https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git Cannot obtain needed object 97c4de8fc0a47b99220b1209c7457c7dde05637a while processing commit ff8c5075a3b474cd9e422eb7e5a97e48f38a9b08.
but I did cherrypicked successfully hda_codec,hda_jack,hda_eld and patch_hdmi modules from the browser interface of the repo and 3.11.7 did compile fine.
I'll probably be able to report the testing of your patch sometime later this afternoon.
