I applied the patch to kernel 5.13.8, but compilation fails with these errors:

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:516: sound/pci] Error 2

I also patched and compiled 5.14-rc4, but got the same errors.

Next I tried cloning git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git.

The patch applied and compiled, but I get the same "does not support mmap" error when trying to play anything.

Let me know if there's any other info I can provide.

Thanks,
Jeff
