One interesting development for hda drivers would be to keep the basic
infrastructure for each codec in the driver, and configure them from
userspace. That would remove all quirks and special cases from the
kernel, and allow easier update for users without the need of
deploying a new kernel (or new ALSA), just updating the userspace
tool.
