Why didn't you change patch 2 like I asked you to?

And I still have no idea why you all are not using the virtual bus in
the "ice" driver implementation.  Why is it even there if you don't need
it?  I thought that was the whole reason you wrote this code, not for
the sound drivers.

How can you get away with just using a virtual device but not the bus?
What does that help out with?  What "bus" do those devices belong to?

Again, please fix up patch 2 to only add virtual device/bus support to,
right now it is just too much of a mess with all of the other
functionality you are adding in there to be able to determine if you are
using the new api correctly.

And again, didn't I ask for this last time?
