Yes, I realized that later. The real problem is that the commits
are already in the tree, so both files end up with two sets of
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

$ git grep MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE sound/soc/codecs/ak4458.c
sound/soc/codecs/ak4458.c:MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ak4458_of_match);
sound/soc/codecs/ak4458.c:MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ak4458_of_match);
$ git grep MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE sound/soc/codecs/ak5558.c
sound/soc/codecs/ak5558.c:MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ak5558_i2c_dt_ids);
sound/soc/codecs/ak5558.c:MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ak5558_i2c_dt_ids);

That applies to all branches.

My test builds pass as well. I think this is because Chrome OS
images build with -Werror.
