[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: line6: correct midi status byte when receiving data from podxt

Sun Dec 25 11:57:27 CET 2022


A PODxt device sends 0xb2, 0xc2 or 0xf2 as a status byte for MIDI
messages over USB that should otherwise have a 0xb0, 0xc0 or 0xf0
status byte. This is usually corrected by the driver on other OSes.

This fixes MIDI sysex messages sent by PODxt.
