asoc cache layer can't support this kind of spi registers, so bypass cache and read regiters directly
This patch is against stable kernel 3.0 only, the ASOC framework in kernel 3.1 and later are different.
Then I need some acks from all of the relevant maintainers before I can apply it to the stable kernel tree.
Is there a corrisponding patch in Linus's tree that does the same thing already?
Not yet, even neither in sound git tree.
We're handling the same patch now for 3.1. As the patch is likely applicable to 3.0 as is, putting Cc to stable would be enough, I suppose.
Scott, the patch to stable kernel must have been applied to the upstream tree beforehand. Read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
Thanks, Takashi. I should send patch for 3.1 and cc stable tree. I have a question here that patch for 3.1 and 3.0 is different, who is responsible for the back patch?
Scott
