Hi Willy and Paul,

Please consider

d2edeb7c6f1d ALSA: hda - ALSA HD Audio patch for Intel Panther Point DeviceIDs

for application to the 2.6.32.y and 2.6.34.y trees.

It does what it says on the cover. The patch was merged in the 3.0 cycle, so newer stable kernels don't need it. Backported and tested[1] against Debian's 2.6.32.y-based kernel by Ana (cc-ed) -- thanks!

Thoughts of all kinds welcome, as always.

I queued up a whole series of device ID updates for Debian stable, as they didn't obviously depend on other changes:

cea310e ALSA: hda_intel: ALSA HD Audio patch for Intel Patsburg DeviceIDs e35d4b1 ALSA: hda: add Vortex86MX PCI ids 0f0714c ALSA: hda - Add support for VMware controller d2edeb7 ALSA: hda - ALSA HD Audio patch for Intel Panther Point DeviceIDs

I found that d2edeb7c6f depends (only trivially, on context) on b686453543f, which makes a blanket class for intel IDs so that "...the driver will work with any new control chips in future." In that respect, I guess it too (b68645) is in the same class as the other "add more IDs" patches?

Yes, it seems like this would also be worth adding. (Always assuming that any functional changes it depends on are also small enough for stable.) It's not a clean cherry-pick as the line above has changed.

(They can be cherry-picked cleanly in the above order.) But if I've missed some post-2.6.32 dependencies then I would like to know.
