Merge tag 'asoc-v3.12-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus
ASoC: Fixes for v3.12 A few small fixes, nothing with any broad impact but all useful for the affected systems. The Kirkwood compatible string change is fixing up a string just added in the merge window so that we don't get any changes in released kernels.
