This appears to suggest that this is a pure coding style change but that
doesn't tie in with any of the rest of your message or the content of
the actual patch - what do you mean when you say that it "didn't go
wrong"?

I think that what you mean to say here is that dapm_mux_update_power()
is using val as both the index into the options for the mux and as the
shifted value of the relevant bits in the register and these won't be
the same unless the bits aren't shifted in the register?  If so could
you please resubmit with a changelog entry saying so?

There is no reference at all to snd_soc_test_bits() in your patch since
you didn't change that line or anything near enough to it to include it
in the patch and it's not immediately obvious that you've changed the
meaning of the val argument.

For future reference the main problem here is that your changelog simply
says that you "Fix wrong param" but doesn't go into any detail on what's
incorrect about which parameter or what's incorrect about the parameter.
