[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 1/6] ASoC: Allow device tree to specify a card's name

If a card's device was instantiated from device tree, and the device tree
has a "user-visible-name" property, use that as the card's name.

v2: New patch implementing new functionality

Re: the binding documentation:
* "SoC" here refers to the fact this is a binding oriented at System-on-
  chip audio complexes, rather than having to do with "ASoC"; both names
  were derived from the same root.
* Do we need a compatible property for this "base class" binding at all?
  I think it's a good idea, even though the code doesn't actually rely
  on it.
* Should the vendor field in the compatible property be "generic",
  "linux", or absent? I've tried to make these bindings generic and
  applicable to other OSs, so "linux," seems wrong.
* Should the property "user-visible-name" have a "generic," prefix or
  similar?
