But, you'd need to create a "model" for your device so that it won't interfere other devices. That is, define a new model type, and call stac92xx_set_config_reg() with the check of spec->board_config.This is easy. The problem is that I am already using model "no-jd", remember? In this case, if I used
/* was 0x01113014 */ if (spec->board_config > STAC_92HD73XX_NO_JD ) { stac92xx_set_config_reg(codec, 0x0c, 0x01813021); }would be fine to me.
Hm, now the question is why it's wrong. This patch changes the port-C. My concern is whether it's a cabling problem or if it's a BIOS thing. If it's a cabling problem (i.e. the cables don't match with the box), it's not a problem that the driver needs to fix in it. OTOH, if the cabling is OK but just the port-C is mislabeled by BIOS, it's an issue to be fixed as a quirk in the driver.
However, there is a possibility that all "stac92hd73xx" family needs this quirk. In this case, no additional code is needed.
Very unlikely. The pins can be freely assigned, and the port-C is a very basic port. The position, color, association, etc must be different from machine to machine.
thanks,
