Yeah I would have noticed if it had all gone :-)  "Our Alsa stuff" I
meant is the stuff I saw sail by on the alsa lists.

Yes I had my behind singed myself by linux-wireless.  I don't think
checkpatch is too much to ask either.  But some people get dismayed if
asked to reissue, I think it can also be good for "morale reasons" to
accept violating patches so long as they are accompanied by a patch on
top to clean them when they're committed.  Still no argument we need to
align what we are doing to normal rules upstream like Signed-off-by and
checkpatch (sparse can maybe wait).
