Hence, the arch/arm-mach-tegra changes in this patchset (excluding the simple standalone addition of that one new header) build on code that is neither in ASoC's nor Tegra's for-next branch. Hence, you won't be able to carry that patch yourself since it won't apply, even with manual merging I suspect.
So just to be absolutely clear, there really are external dependencies for the arch/arm bits of this patch series that go beyond the patch series itself? That's the information I was asking to be flagged on future submissions.
Yes, the arch/arm bits (except that standalone patch to add the new header) depend on a variety of other patches from before this patchset. Those other patches fix a few missing things in the mainline Tegra support and/or simply add platform devices and platform data for the new ASoC driver. At least some of those patches will have to be reworked a little once Tegra's for-next comes on line.
The sound/soc bits don't depend on anything except what's already in the ACoC for-2.6.39 branch.
