This one just popped out when I read the source code - or is there a reason for parsing vendorid and subid without caring about the result?
Technically it matters little if the codec vendor_id and subsystem_id have valid values, because you can override them anyway. Codec address is the vital one.
In the individual case, maybe. However, assuming codec vendor and subsystem are correctly matched, a distro could make a long list of Codec SSID to model mappings, write down that in the patch file format, and supply that patch file. One could then add mappings as a minor distro update without having to recompile the kernel.
