Merge branch 'topic/caiaq' into for-linus

* topic/caiaq:
  ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: bump version number
  ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: give better shortname
  ALSA: Core - add snd_card_set_id() function
  ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: give better longname
  ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: use strlcpy
  ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: clean whitespaces
