That would be equivalent to using it directly, see my response to
Takashi for a few of the reasons this is done this way.

I have a plan to add changes to 'include/uapi/sound/asound.h' in a
development period for Linux kernel v4.21[1]. Would I need to add you to
C.C list of the future patch to notify the change, or things go well
without such special care for your side?

Don't worry, the system was designed not to create any extra work for
kernel developers.

The CC messages is just informative. :-)

Thanks, and I note that my work will neither change value of each ioctl
command for PCM/Control interfaces nor add new commands, thus no worries
in your side at this point.

I'll enjoy the beauty output from perf tools after rebasing my runtime
environment to v4.19 kernel, Thank you.
