Hi Sasha

This change depends on the following series in ASoC:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190725165949.29699-1-jbrunet@baylibre.com
which has also been merged in this merge window.

With this change, things are done (IMO) in a better way but there was no
known issue before that.

I don't think it is worth backporting the mentioned ASoC series to
5.3. I would suggest to just drop this change from stable.

Regards
Jerome
