[alsa-devel] [RFC PATCH 00/24] Mandate to pass a device pointer at card creation

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

this is the first series of patches for a slight restructuring of
device management in ALSA core codes.  This batch makes the association
of struct device mandatory to snd_card at the object creation time,
so that the driver can refer to the device at any time even before
registring the device.

Basically, it rewrites snd_card_create() with the (re-)new
snd_card_new() that requires the struct device pointer.  The only
upstream driver that had no device assignment was atmel/au1x00, and
I revived the old patch to convert to platform_device for that.
