No, Takashi-san is telling you to try commenting this out and recompile and see if the problem goes away. If so then we can figure out how to detect this MPU-less device and fix it in ALSA CVS. He probably does not have access to the hardware to test it himself. This is a pretty common issue with ALSA because a lot of cards that purport to be the same as another have small differences, and the alsa devs can't possibly test every single device.
