Modify the alsa-kmirror code. When you run make in alsa-driver tree, the file from alsa-kmirror is patched to retain compatibility for older linux kernels. The ac97_codec.c file in alsa-driver tree is just a temporary file (not in our repository) used for building. See to .gitignore which files are temporary only.
