The patch looks good, but now you have sent two different patches with the same subject
line. Since this is just one driver and each instance is a trivial change, I'd suggest
doing a single combined patch for them.

Similarly, when you have multiple patches within one subsystem (e.g. two different scsi
drivers), it helps to have a series of patches as you did with the ASoC patches.
