As I'm fairly sure I've told you several times now please use subject
lines matching the style for the subsystem - if your commit logs look
different to all the other commit logs that's probably not a good sign.
In this specific case "ASOC" and "ASoC" are not the same thing.

This will happily create values with a completely empty name if the user
didn't specify one.  This doesn't seem great - it's going to be an easy
mistake to make and fail to notice.  I'd at least expect a warning here.

Why the casts?  This tends to be a sign that something is wrong.
