Hello, I've sent a RFC to the alsa mailing list [1] about adding an extra field in order to pass the IRQ from the AC97 driver to the ucb1400 driver. The result was: - William Pitcock recommended to hack up the ucb1400 driver and save the irq there. The result is [2]. What I don't like very much is the global variable and the fact that has to be done for every platform. - Mark Brown has the same problem with his wm97xx driver [3]. and while browsing a dead list archive of linux-input I noticed that a guy named Peter Ma has the same problem on his AVR32 [4]. I haven't heard anything from the ALSA Maintainer but according to git he didn't put a sing-of-by line since Thu Jan 31 17:40:18 2008 +0100 so maybe he is sleeping. That's why I've add Takashi Iwai since he seems to be in charge some how. Now I'm curious what solution the people here prefer: - adding a private field [1] (my favorite) - hacking up the ucb1400 [2] (doesn't solve [3] and needs addition code to solve [4]). - something totally different what did not come to my attention yet.
