By the way, eventually I'd in fact probably like to move some of the drivers that now still support legacy ISA over to PnP only. After all, chips such as the CMI8330, CS4232+, ES1869+ and OPL3SA2 _are_ PnP only chips.
Certainly for CS4232+ and ES1869+ that can't be done currently as we know people are in fact using isapnp=0 to work around PnPBIOS issues but from the previous report there it seemed that might actually just consist of the BIOS claiming no resource change is possible, which pnp_activate_dev (through pnp_autoconfig_dev) insist on anyway. This would be something to fix inside PnP instead...
Well, I'm not sure about that. Certainly there are some users that use isapnp=no with explicit parameters.
Yes, currently, but as said, we might be able to al least make sure they don't _need_ to do that at the PnP layer after which it becomes somewhat debatable at least. But yes, sure, not now, once, maybe, perhaps, ...
Anyways, here's just a further Documentation update. You once told me to start new threads for patches, but that seems clumsy now... :-|
Thanks. It seems that people do care more on explanations about the removal of options. Could you add that, too? Just mention about sysfs as alternative way to change the parameters...
Yes. Documentation/pnp.txt wants to be a little more verbose after which ALSA documentation can refer to it. I'll cook something up...
