OK, I will change the name.

This patch set has been compiled and tested for Linux-kernel-version 2.6.38-rc4,
since SPEAr patches for this linux version are already under review in Russel King's
ARM branch.This version does not have snd_soc_cache_sync() function. 

We plan to start porting the SPEAr patches on latest kernel after the earlier SPEAr patches
are ACKED. After the same, I will circulate the next SPEAr ASoC patch set containing changes
specific to this new kernel version.
