INSTALL: Building from kernel tree doc fixes
Does the following patch seem reasonable? It certainly describes the
Requirements in a way I personally understand better? Hopefully, it's
Accurate in any other scenarios that I'm not familiar with:-)
Be more explicit about which versions of which components need to match when
building the ALSA modules from a complete Linux kernel tree.
