Good point. Fixed now.

It is consistent with ctl functions:

snd_hda_ctl_add -> snd_hda_nid_add
snd_hda_add_new_ctls -> snd_hda_add_nids

I found the possible changes (resolving clashes) during merges very evil, 
altough I understand your easy work scheme. Also, I don't like the missing 
lines in comments (Signed-off-by etc.) for merged patches for all involved
people. It makes more difficult to track the patch flow.

My topic/hda-nid branch is now based on your master tree.
