I know it's confusing.  But "[PATCH 0/6] ASoC: a few cleanups on
sound/soc/fsl" is not a new version of the series "[PATCH 1/4] ASoC:
imx: let SND_MXC_SOC_FIQ select FIQ".  Instead, it's a follow-up
series which depends on previously posted patches.

Anyway, I will stop doing that to confuse people.
