OSS has very little if any useful life in it left for MIPS, at least from my perspective. So I propose to remove the Au1550 driver - there is an ALSA replacement for it available.
Even two variants available: one in ASoC driver and one in old ALSA driver.
The current ASoC code can replace sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c, but sound/mips/au1x00.c is for different (earlier) chips. I wrote an ASoC variant of this a long time ago, but I can't test it on real hardware.
My immediate interest is to kill off sounds/oss/ on MIPS because sound/oss/soundcard.c is fairly ISA centric and does not build for some some MIPS systems with only half-arsed ISA support, that is no DMA support.
Manuel, I got a DBAu1250 board here and maybe I can find a DBAu1500 Zinfandel board under some dusty hardware pile; would that be suitable for testing your work?
