Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: cs35l56: Stop creating ALSA controls for firmware coefficients
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2024 16:15:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240729161532.147893-1-simont@opensource.cirrus.com> (raw)

A number of laptops have gone to market with old firmware versions that
export controls that have since been hidden, but we can't just install a
newer firmware because the firmware for each product is customized and
qualified by the OEM. The issue is that alsactl save and restore has no
idea what controls are good to persist which can lead to
misconfiguration.

As the ALSA controls for the firmware coefficients are not used in
normal operation they can all be hidden, but add a kernel parameter so
that they can be re-enabled for debugging.

Fixes: 73cfbfa9caea ("ALSA: hda/cs35l56: Add driver for Cirrus Logic CS35L56 amplifier")
