Merge tag 'asoc-v3.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-next
ASoC: Updates for v3.13 - Further work on the dmaengine helpers, including support for configuring the parameters for DMA by reading the capabilities of the DMA controller which removes some guesswork and magic numbers fromm drivers. - A refresh of the documentation. - Conversions of many drivers to direct regmap API usage in order to allow the ASoC level register I/O code to be removed, this will hopefully be completed by v3.14. - Support for using async register I/O in DAPM, reducing the time taken to implement power transitions on systems that support it.

ASoC Machine Driver
===================
-The ASoC machine (or board) driver is the code that glues together the platform
-and codec drivers.
+The ASoC machine (or board) driver is the code that glues together all the
+component drivers (e.g. codecs, platforms and DAIs). It also describes the
+relationships between each componnent which include audio paths, GPIOs,
+interrupts, clocking, jacks and voltage regulators.
The machine driver can contain codec and platform specific code. It registers
the audio subsystem with the kernel as a platform device and is represented by
