Ok, so the patch affecting sound/soc/davinci/davinci-evm.c SHOULD have been submitted to ALSA first.
Yes, but it should've been a patch against an ASoC tree, not against DaVinci git which may contain things not (yet) in the ASoC tree.
It is not easy following you guys. You say something and then do the opposite.
Heh, sorry.
Do as I do, not as I say. ;)
I'd say "my bad" ... but in these cases there's seems to be no better solution than having the DaVinci GIT tree diverge a bit from mainline ASoC, in synchrony with arch/arm/mach-davinci which is also diverging from mainline.
There's a general rule that patches should not break builds. And that rule is why there are several ASoC patches I've not yet sent to mainline.
The whole ASoC/DaVinci thing has been nothing but build breakage however, since it depends on EDMA patches which haven't yet gone to mainline. (But, I believe, will soon do so, at which point that breakage will stop.)
