Sure. Just to let you know Christophe Leroy included this patch in his
series about ppc405 removal. It should be the same.

If you don't want to take that alsa patch I can send it separately and
this patch can be taken from his series. I don't really mind but please
let me know what way you prefer.

Thanks,
Michal
