If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0bd8bce897b6697bbc286b8ba473aa0705fe394b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2020 16:55:37 +0900 Subject: ALSA; firewire-tascam: exclude Tascam FE-8 from detection From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0bd8bce897b6697bbc286b8ba473aa0705fe394b upstream. Tascam FE-8 is known to support communication by asynchronous transaction only. The support can be implemented in userspace application and snd-firewire-ctl-services project has the support. However, ALSA firewire-tascam driver is bound to the model. This commit changes device entries so that the model is excluded. In a commit 53b3ffee7885 ("ALSA: firewire-tascam: change device probing processing"), I addressed to the concern that version field in configuration differs depending on installed firmware. However, as long as I checked, the version number is fixed. It's safe to return version number back to modalias.
