The patch

   ASoC: SOF: Intel: Broadwell: clarify mutual exclusion with legacy driver

has been applied to the asoc tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-5.5

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: Intel: Broadwell: clarify mutual exclusion with
 legacy driver

Some distros select all options blindly, which leads to confusion and
bug reports. SOF does not fully support Broadwell due to firmware
dependencies, the machine drivers can only support one option, and
UCM/topology files are still being propagated to downstream distros,
so make SOF on Broadwell an opt-in option that first require distros
to opt-out of existing defaults.
