I'm not sure why Chaitanya's S-o-b is there and listed last if he's not 
the patch author. If he wrote the patch, he should be the git author and 
his S-o-b should be first. If he didn't and you simply based this patch 
on work by Chaitanya, then his S-o-b probably shouldn't be present, and 
yours would be last since you're submitting the patch.

I'm puzzled how this was tested on T210, since it isn't supported 
upstream yet.

The series,
Tested-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

(Tested audio playback and volume adjustment on Jetson TK1 which 
contains a Tegra124 SoC)
