Sigh. asihpi driver comes from alsa-driver git repository. It is not in alsa-kernel repo, which AFAIK is what Linus pulls from for his tree.
So, it seems that out of tree drivers from alsa-driver repo are packaged into the -backports- package.
As for why this driver is not in alsa-kernel, you might have to ask the ALSA maintainers that question directly.
