That would fall within the definition of "teach the register map about this stuff"...
Yeah, I expected that. But it also would include the changes of register definitions in the codec driver, right?
The idea is that the CODEC drivers will end up using regmap directly once it gets cache support migrated over to it. There's nothing ALSA specific about the cache support. Though right just not bothering to cache this device (it has readback support after all) is probably good enough.
OK, I like the idea, but it sounds a bit like a long way to go. I guess the cache-in-regmap won't be merged in 3.1 cycle?
Basically I don't care too much about this, but the fact we leave this being broken over two release cycles doesn't appear nice, especially when there is a quick-n-easy fix...
thanks,
