subject: sound:
Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with 'git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE' on the directory
your patch is touching. For bindings, the preferred subjects are
explained here:

1. Don't describe drivers. Descirbe the hardware.

2. There is already audio for mt2701: mediatek,mt2701-audio. Why HDMI is
not part of existing audio machine bindings? Or maybe this is not sound
card driver?

But these suggest it is sound card driver...
