ALSA-SOC support for OpenRD Client/Ultimate

["Robas, Teodor" <teodor.robas@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,


I am writing to this list in the hope that somebody can clear me out
if this platform is supported and I am doing something wrong, or if
it is still work in progress.

The drivers that I think should work with my hardware (OpenRD ultimate)
are located in sound/soc/kirkwood/*.

Sound on this device worked (partially) with the default software
it came but not with the latest about 10 kernels I have tried.

I added bellow the output of alsa-info.sh script. If needed I can look
for more or try to fix it (with some help).


Best Regards,
Teodor

PS: please note that none of the snd* modules are loaded by default.

PPS: Somewhere in the code (sound/soc/kirkwood/kirkwood-openrd.c)
there is a check: machine_is_openrd_client() but in my case it should
be machine_is_openrd_ultimate(). I removed this check anyway.
