Hi everyone,

Sorry for the mess this seems to have triggered.

Indeed, with the Fixes tag, I understand why the patch has been picked
up. Even I thought that a backport would be OK, since the mistake was
quite old.

If I had wrote it correctly from the start, I would have found the
problem that was waiting for us in ASoC ... but the 2 errors cancelled
each other out.

It is only now that ASoC has been fixed that we found my mistake.

Again, sorry for the mess.
Thanks a lot for your time and effort on this
