Add a bit more explanation about passing the snd-hda-intel model option at the right place. Also, a brief description about the new codec model option is added along with it.

When there are multiple HD-audio +controllers and you want to apply a quirk for a certain one, you have +to pass the option carefully at the right position. +For example, when an on-board analog audio with a Realtek codec is +found at the secondary PCI slot while the first slot is for HDMI/DP +controller, you'll need to pass the option like ``model=,foobar`` +(note the comma before ``foobar``), so that the first entry is +skipped. + +For making this complexity a bit easier, since 6.1 kernel, codec +drivers may take also ``model`` option, too. It works equivalently as +the model option of the controller driver. +In the example case above, you can pass the option to Realtek codec +driver directly; e.g. ``snd_hda_codec_realtek.model=foobar`` on +command line.
