[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/2] ASoC: tfa9879: New driver for NXP Semiconductors TFA9879 amplifier.

[Peter Rosin]

Thanks for the review! I'm answering here, but would like to thank
Lars-Peter for the review as well.

Ok, I'll zap it. Pity though, I really liked the actual code even if the macro was a
bit hard to digest...

I'll try to find out how to hook that up. BTW, there is very limited info about
the supply widget at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/DAPM

Ok.

Yes, I'd sure like to do that, but how do I get to the width in set_fmt()?

Oops, sorry. Forward-porting in progress...

Then I misunderstood what volatile was meant to do. I'll just nuke the
function. It works fine anyway...

I'll send a v2 later, with the other bits from Lars-Peter taken care of, and
with 2/2 squashed. Need to test first though...
