We can then take a copy and add it to our own datasheet stores at ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/datasheets We would generally need the datasheet for your chip, together with the platform specific details, so as to save us having to reverse engineer the platforms, because as you say, the HDA is a more generic interface, with different platforms using it is different ways. Then, anyone in the open source community is then able to add ALSA support and fix ALSA bugs in order to support your chips and platforms. This approach is far more efficient that giving the datasheets to just one developer. We have a lack of ALSA developers currently, so having all the necessary data up front saves a lot of time. If you wish to add any priority with regard to what gets added first, I suggest you provide some sort of sponsorship in the way of bounties and donated hardware. I develop support for Creative cards, and donations of hardware from Creative have been particularly helpful there.
