Summary: crash on snd-powermac initilize
Description:
I have users reporting a reproducable, on init, crash of our powerpc
distro,
but this happens to only some of the ppc users.
the distro is geexbox, www.geexbox.org
this crash happens also when snd-powermac is compiled as module,
and crashes when module is loaded.
I can't reproduce the bug myself, but I have users who do the tests,
and those users report that debian and ubuntu works great for them.
this bug also happened with linux 2.6.12

Why the dependence on i2c-powermac is not explicit?
$ modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r1/kernel/sound/ppc/snd-powermac.ko
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r1/kernel/sound/ppc/snd-powermac.ko
license: GPL
description: PowerMac
depends: snd-pcm,snd
^^^^^^^

Because it calls it implicitly via the i2c layer so the dependency cannot
be determined at link time.
The problem is just that snd-powermac detects a chip even if the i2c stuff
isn't there -- it shouldn't, it should do a proper i2c driver instead.
Note that there's some effort I am currently doing on writing a new sound
driver called snd-aoa (google) that does this correctly and will likely
deprecate snd-powermac in the future so I recommend not investing too much
time and brainpower into fixing it.
