Re: [BUG] unsafe reset in ac97_codec.c

[Liam Girdwood]

Hi

I've attached a patch against 2.4.25 that now checks for the codec type
before doing the AC97 register reset.

Changes:-

 o Added AC97_DEFAULT_POWER_OFF to ac97_codec_ids[]
 o ac97_probe now checks hardwired codec ID's before sending a reset
 o Added initial support for WM9713 AC97 codec.
