I think the root cause of this issue is that both vc4.ko and snd_bcm2835.ko try to provide ALSA sinks to HDMI audio outputs from RPi. Why do the two drivers provide the same functionality for the same device? It seems nonsense. There must be some coordination between vc4.ko and snd_bcm2835.ko on who provides ALSA sinks of RPi HDMI output. The non-coordination that both drivers provide different ALSA sinks of the same device already causes another symptom as http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rpi-kernel/2021-March/008077.html Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
