A number of laptops have gone to market with old firmware versions that export controls that have since been hidden, but we can't just install a newer firmware because the firmware for each product is customized and qualified by the OEM. The issue is that alsactl save and restore has no idea what controls are good to persist which can lead to misconfiguration. As the ALSA controls for the firmware coefficients are not used in normal operation they can all be hidden, but add a kernel parameter so that they can be re-enabled for debugging.
