Hi Takashi,
Here is the second version which updates the users.
This update was done using coccinelle scripts. I also noticed that the coccinelle is reformaing the change lines, but changes looked good to me so I have kept them, please do let me know if you would like these to be removed.
Erm, sorry, I didn't want to motivate you in that direction. Basically it's better to keep the old API as is for an old driver like HDA since it makes stable kernel backporting much easier. So, what we'd need is a lazier solution, just to replace the old API as a static inline function wrapping the new API. The end result is same, but it's still compatible with older kernels in the source code level.
Ah ...
Even while doing this I was thinking that we have few wrappers and should update users..
So are you going to hold off update or do it after some point of time
I will send updated one, though I think at some point of time we need to bite this bullet
