I'm confused as to why this happened.
I made the patch based on the following branch
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/?h=next-20250513

That's not my tree, that's linux-next.  MAINTAINERS shows:

SOUND - SOC LAYER / DYNAMIC AUDIO POWER MANAGEMENT (ASoC)
M:      Liam Girdwood <lgirdwood@gmail.com>
M:      Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
L:      linux-sound@vger.kernel.org
S:      Supported
W:      http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/ASoC
T:      git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git

and note that above git is saying it's not got a useful SHA1 in your
patch so either there's a formatting issue or it's not quite -next (the
repo I apply to has -next so would see -next commits).  For things
targetting 6.16 you want for-6.16.
