The code changes look OK through a quick glance, but those patches
lack of the proper patch descriptions completely.

For example, the patch 1 says "ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix Warlock using
dual mic configuration" in the subject, and that's all.  Fix what for
Warlock model?  Why the dual mic configuration makes things better, if
any?

A few other patches have the same problem: it's not clear *why* the
changes are done.  Please give a bit more description.

Also, the patch 4 introduces the code with a wrong indentation, which
is corrected in a later patch.  That confuses readers, too.  Better to
fix in the first place.

Could you update those and resubmit?

thanks,

Takashi
