[PATCH] ASoC: rk817: Add module alias for rk817-codec

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

Without a module alias, autoloading the driver does not occurr
when it is built as a module.

By adding a module alias, the driver now probes fine automatically
and therefore analog audio output works as it should.

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: rk817: Add module alias for rk817-codec
      commit: 428ee30a05cd1362c8aa86a4c909b0d1c6bc48a4

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
