Oops, sorry, that was the patch for linux-next, and I forgot the
recent code change. And it turned out not to be effective.
Below is another try. Scratch the previous one (although it cannot
hurt), and try this one instead.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Fix mmap breakage without explicit buffer setup
The recent fix c4824ae7db41 ("ALSA: pcm: Fix mmap capability check")
restricts the mmap capability only to the drivers that properly set up
the buffers, but it caused a regression for a few drivers that manage
the buffer on its own way.
For those with UNKNOWN buffer type (i.e. the uninitialized / unused
substream->dma_buffer), just assume that the driver handles the mmap
properly and blindly trust the hardware info bit.
Fixes: c4824ae7db41 ("ALSA: pcm: Fix mmap capability check")
