Sorry, will put you guys in Cc at the next time (although all
conversions have been done in the sound tree).

If there needs any other changes, feel free to merge my
topic/restize-docs branch into yours and keep working there:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git topic/resize-docs

It's based on vanilla 4.9-rc4, so it must be clean to be merged.  A
few misc fixes will come up in for-next branch, but they should be
harmless to your changes -- at least the api-related changes won't be
touched.


thanks,

Takashi
