[PATCH 3.17 060/319] ALSA: hda - Add workaround for CMI8888 snoop behavior

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 20:22:39 EST


3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 3b70bdba2fcb374a2235a56ab73334348d819579 upstream.

CMI8888 shows the stuttering playback when the snooping is disabled
on the audio buffer. Meanwhile, we've got reports that CORB/RIRB
doesn't work in the snooped mode. So, as a compromise, disable the
snoop only for CORB/RIRB and enable the snoop for the stream buffers.

The resultant patch became a bit ugly, unfortunately, but we still can
live with it.
