Looks good - a few smallish points below, but basically it's OK.  Thanks
for sorting out git send-email, it really is much easier to work with.

It'd be best to also do the register cache thing like Liam said.  Some
other stuff...

You also need to push out registration of the WM8750 out into the
machine drivers using it (spitz and jive).  Look at how the transition
was done for wm8731 for an example.

This is already done in for-2.6.35 - in general you should always try to
make sure your patches apply against -next (which for ASoC has the
current for-2.6.xx branch in it).

This should be done separately since while it's useful it's not really
related to the rest of your change.  This is something that frequently
comes up with your patches.  The general idea here is that each patch
should do exactly one thing which is fully described in the changelog.
This makes each individual patch simpler, making review easier (since
it's much clearer what each individual line in the diff is supposed to
do) and makes trawling the source with things like git bisect or git
annotate more useful for similar reasons.

This is also gone in current for-2.6.35, it shouldn't be so important
any more with current ASoC.
