You can simply paste the patch in a mail.
Some MUA cannot pass the text as is, and it would break the embedded
patch.  In such a case, use an attachment.

Thanks, I took a look at it.  The code itself seems almost OK.

But, before merging, please fix the coding style to follow the
standard style.  Read $LINUX_KERNEL/Documentation/CodingStyle file
first.  This describes many details.
In doubt, run scripts/checkpatch.pl script included in the recent
linux kernel tree.  It's a really picky guy, so you don't have to obey
every detail :)

Second, the mixer control names should follow standard names
(somehow).  For example, in your code,

 {"Front(green) Playback Volume"	,WM8776output	,VOLUME1,0,NULL}
,{"Surround(orange) Playback Volume"	,WM8766		,VOLUME1,1,NULL}
,{"SurroundBack(white) Playback Volume"	,WM8766		,VOLUME1,2,NULL}
,{"CenterAndSW(black) Playback Volume"	,WM8766		,VOLUME1,0,NULL}

we have standard names: Front Playback Volume, Surround Playback
Volume, Side Playback Volume, CLFE Playback Volume.  If Center and LFE
can be split, it'd be much better to have two mono controls, Center
Playback Volume and LFE Playback Volume.


thanks,
