Hi, Takashi
I still have a question about AZX_MAX_CODECS.
In azx_command_addr() and azx_response_addr(), they use AZX_MAX_CODECS like
If (addr >= AZX_MAX_CODECS) {
snd_BUG();
addr = 0;
}
The azx_max_codes[] could not be used in these functions.
How could we do in these functions?
Thanks
Wei.

Yeah, I understand it. But, as mentioned, changing this to *all*
controller chips is dangerous.
We have already a quirk for controller chips to set max codecs depending
on the chip model. Right now, only teradici chip sets to 1.
So, add "#define AZX_DEFAULT_CODECS 4", and use this value unless
azx_max_codecs[] is defined. And, for the new controller chip
supporting more than 4, it can has 8 in azx_max_codecs[].
Is it feasible?

In sound/pci/hda/Makefile, hda_eld.c is built into snd-hda-codec-intelhdmi
by the following rule:
snd-hda-codec-intelhdmi-objs := patch_intelhdmi.o hda_eld.o
Since now hda_eld.c is used in two modules, this has to be in the common
place, such as snd-hda-codec. For this, uncomment the line:
# snd-hda-codec-$(CONFIG_SND_HDA_ELD) += hda_eld.o
and remove hda_eld.o from snd-hda-codec-intelhdmi-objs line.
For Kconfig, right now we have the definition
config SND_HDA_ELD
def_bool y
depends on SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI
Change depends on like
depends on SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI || SND_HDA_CODEC_NVHDMI
This can be done via "select" instead. But, we'd merge all hdmi codes
later, so which way to choose is no big matter.
thanks,
Takashi
