We don't have a debugger or step-by-step mechanisms to figure out what the
configurations are.
If I get your intension correctly, the addition of sysfs node is just to
investigate which use-case configuration is applied in cases that people
get issues. If so, it's really exaggerative in a point of the concept of
sysfs.
I have two alternatives. If it's possible to focus on ALSA SoC part only,
addition of node to debugfs is reasonable for this purpose.
Another alternative is to change output of 'cards' node of procfs. The
latter is commonly available for all cases. For example:
I initially wanted to use /proc but thought it was a thing from the past
so I looked at sysfs. If this is the recommendation I don't mind using it.
debugsfs is not something the average user is familiar with, and it's
not available in all cases. I'd like to extend existing pieces of
information than add new things.
