Hi,
this is the first series of patches for a slight restructuring of device management in ALSA core codes. This batch makes the association of struct device mandatory to snd_card at the object creation time, so that the driver can refer to the device at any time even before registring the device.
Basically, it rewrites snd_card_create() with the (re-)new snd_card_new() that requires the struct device pointer. The only upstream driver that had no device assignment was atmel/au1x00, and I revived the old patch to convert to platform_device for that.
Since I've got positive feedbacks, I merged the patches (some are fixed) with ack tags by people now to for-next branch.
