[alsa-devel] [PATCH] drm/i915: Enable VLV audio chicken bit for LPE audio

[Takashi Iwai]

The audio chicken bit (register offset 0x62f38) seems required to make
DP audio working on some machines.  At least, on Dell Wyse 3040, I
failed to get the audio unless this bit is set once.

Strangely, the bit seems necessary only once, and it persists after
that, even some power-off cycles.  The register is supposedly
write-only, so it's no evidence whether the bit keeps effect
persistently.  But, judging from the experiment, it looks enough to
set it up once at the device initialization.

The patch is basically a cut from the original patch by Pierre-Louis
Bossart.
