Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: soc-ac97: Fix the incorrect description
      commit: 86a7f453e99c3c202ac1623557e4f57bd73fc88c

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

That commit hash corresponds to "ASoC: Add support for allocating AC'97
device before registering it" which is not what your Fixes tag says,
there is a commit with that title but it's got hash
76f5aaabce492aa6991c28c96bb78b00b05d06c5.

1. You may occasionally put more than 47 characters into text lines
   of such a change description.

2. How do you think about to use the term “error pointer” here
   (instead of the mentioned inline function name)?
