=Detailed HDA changelog between 1.0.17rc1 and 1.0.17rc2 releases=

==alsa-driver==
===HDA Codec driver===
: - ALSA: hda: Add support for 92HD73xxx codecs
:
: Added support for new family of IDT codecs.
:
: - ALSA: hda - Remove unused mutex
:
: Removed unused mutex from patch_*.c.
:
: - ALSA: hda - Fix stac9205_cfg_tbl
:
: Sort stac9205_cfg_table in the order of id numbers, and removed the
: duplicated (obsoleted) entries for 0x01fc and 0x01fd. This doesn't
: change the driver behavior since the old entries are all secondary.
:
: The duplication occured due to commit dfe495d0, and the old entries
: were introduced by commit ae0a8ed8.
:
: - [ALSA] hda - Add Toshiba dynabook SS RX1 support
:
: I have Toshiba dynabook SS RX1 and this patch adds that support.
:
: - [ALSA] hda - Fix "alc262_sony_unsol[]" hda_verb array
:
: I think that hda_verb array must have "terminator (empty array)".
: But alc262_sony_unsol[] does not have it.
: And it causes gcc-4.3's buggy behavior
: with snd_hda_sequence_write().
:
: - [ALSA] hda - Fix resume of auto-config mode with Realtek codecs
:
: The auto-config mode of Realtek ALC codecs has a bug since 2.6.25
: that it cannot resume properly. The problem was the wrong assignment
: of init_hook that overrides the whole initialization.
:
: Relevant bug reports:
: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10662
: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385473
:
: - [ALSA] hda - COMPAL IFL90/JFL-92 laptop quirk
:
: Use quirk table to assign ALC268_TOSHIBA to COMPAL IFL90/JFL-92 laptops.
: No analog output on autoprobe.
:
: Tested-by: Guri <gurashka@gmail.com>
: - [ALSA] hda - Fix PLL gating control on Realtek codecs
:
: On some Realtek codecs, the analog PLL gating control bit must be set
: off while the default value is 1.
:
: - [ALSA] hda - support intel DG33 motherboards
:
: These two motherboards's pin configuration are not covered by driver.
: I wrote a new model to support them.
:
===HDA Intel driver===
: - ALSA: hda - use upper_32_bits()
:
: Use the standard upper_32_bits() instead of own macro.
:
: - ALSA: hda - bdl_pos_adj=32 as default
:
: Use bdl_pos_adj=32 as default except for Intel hardwares confirmed
: to work with bdl_pos_adj=1. Looks like ATI and NVidia require this
: higher value.
:
: - ALSA: hda - Add a warning if pending IRQ is found
:
: The pending IRQ handling is a very hackish workaround and should be
: avoided as much as possible via a larger bdl_pos_adj option value.
: Put a warning message if this situation occurs so that the user may have
: a chance to notice that something is wrong.
:
: - ALSA: hda - Fix bdl_pos_adj value for ATI SB chipsets
:
: ATI SB controllers seem to report the DMA ahead in the amount of FIFO.
: Thus bdl_pos_adj should be 32 for them as default.
:
: Also, the default value is set to -1, which means to make the driver
: to choose the appropriate value.
:
: - ALSA: hda - bdl_pos_adj option to each instance
:
: The option bdl_pos_adj should be provided for each card instance instead of
: a global one because the value depends rather on each controller-chip.
:
: - ALSA: hda - remove position_fix=3
:
: position_fix=3 is the option to correct the DMA position with the
: FIFO size. But, it never worked correctly, and we have now more other
: workarounds for the DMA position fixes. Thus better to remove it.
:
: Also, change POS_FIX_NONE to POS_FIX_LPIB to represent its real role
: better.
:
: - ALSA: hda - Add bdl_pos_adj option
:
: Added a new option, bdl_pos_adj, to adjust the delay of IRQ-wakeup
: timing.
:
: Most HD-audio hardwares have a problem that a BDL IRQ is issued before
: actually the data and the DMA pointer are updated.
: We have already a mechanism to force to delay snd_pcm_period_elapsed()
: calls via workq, but this costs much CPU, and typically the delay is
: within one sample. Thus, it's more clever to adjust the BDL entries
: instead.
:
: The new option adds the size of the delay in frames. As default,
: it's set to 1 -- that is, one sample delay. Even the hardware is
: really correct, one sample delay is relatively harmless in comparison
: with reporting wrong positions.
:
: - [ALSA] hda - increase max_codecs of ICH to 4
:
: It turned out that some ICH9-based boards use SD3 for the audio codec
: where the current driver code doesn't probe. Since we have a better
: codec slot check now, it must be safe to increase this to 4.
