[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2] amixer: skip showing asoc tlv byte controls

[Vinod Koul]

ASoC TLV Byte controls are very large size controls so we should add new
options for these. So skip dumping contents for these.

$amixer -c0 cget numid=16
numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='mdl params'
  ; type=BYTES,access=-----RW-,values=30336
  : ASoC TLV Byte control, skipping bytes dump
