Since this one and Dell patch are relative large changes, I queued them to for-next branch instead of for-linus, i.e. the merge to Linus tree will be postponed to 4.1-rc1.

Takashi,
It's a bit unfortunate that these are landing in 4.1 rather than 4.0. 4.1 they actually won't be very useful in the default kernel due to this patch landing: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1ef2972586577e0ca9675254ee141f65a8...
With 4.1 the XPS 13 will run in I2S audio mode.
Is there any chance at backporting these to @stable? Some of the distros (Ubuntu and Fedora) are already backporting this into some of their kernel versions, but I think this should benefit the community at large if the other distributions that tracked @stable could pick this up too.
It's easy, you just need to send a post to stable kernel to tell the commit id to cherry-pick.
At best it should be done by the people who actually test the backport, as this is no generic fix I can confirm.
