The problem is that it wasn't passed through mm tree at all.
Oh, I see. I had thought that you already maintained a separate -mm tree. Looking again it seems your linus tree is actually just for backported fixes rather than a general submission to Linus tree. I must've looked at it at the wrong point in the cycle when figuring these things out.
If the stuff has to cooperate with the changes in other trees, pass it seprately to Andrew (or give me a hint) so that it's put to mm tree rightly at the next time.
I could also ask Andrew to pull the ASoC upstream branch (which is based off the ALSA -mm branch) and keep any dodgy commits there without e-mailing you. I'm not sure if having a branch rebased off another branch he's pulling would be too clever, though, but that would probably be the lowest maintinence option.
