Now I'm looking at this since I pulled Mark's PR, and noticed that
snd_soc_put_volsw_sx() may have a similar problem.  Care to cover
that, too?


But, more reading the code, I suspect whether the function does work
correctly at all...  How is the mask calculation done in that way?
  unsigned int mask = (1U << (fls(min + max) - 1)) - 1;
What's the difference of this function with snd_soc_put_volsw()?

Furthermore, the mask calculation and usage in snd_soc_put_volsw()
isn't right, either, I'm afraid; if the range is [-10, 0], max=0, then
mask will 0, which will omit all values...

I guess we need to revisit those functions (or I need more coffee).


thanks,

Takashi
