If you want these independent contributors to start using the kernel infrastructure common in the ASoC "tree", please tell them clearly on
BTW, this probably deserves picking up a bit more: there's really no distinction between commercial and non-commercial contributors, if anything I'd say that on average the hobbyist contributors tend to be working to a higher standard on average.
Mark, my whole point is most nonASoC alsa developers have no idea they are supposed to use stuff in the asoc subdir for the drivers outside of the asoc subtree. And I guess they mostly do not follow mailinglist messages prefixed ASoC either.
If sound/asoc/codecs was in sound/codecs, they would certainly take a look. But right now to them asoc really feels like a separate world.
I understand you would like to change that (or IOW - it would be beneficial to whole alsa to change that), very good. That is why I am talking about some guidelines for the non-asoc developers. I cannot write them, I am one of those having lived in the old-ages dark so far :)
Thanks a lot,
Pavel.
