From: Simon Trimmer <simont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> There is a window of time where the cs_dsp_coeff_ctl has been created but has not been registered as a control with ALSA. The hda_cs_dsp_write_ctl() helper function can be used update the cs_dsp coefficient before it has been registered, but it should only call snd_ctl_notify() once the control is associated with a card.
