You are quite right, I didn't quite follow the situation. I do however have one
observation, would it be possible to list the commits in a merge the same way
you list commits on the top level, that is, more or less make the headings
"ALSA: ASoC: Fix another cs4270 error path"
"ALSA: make the CS4270 driver a new-style I2C driver"
links one can follow?
