I don't think it's that simple. I saw there are changes pending off
alsa list from Mark Brown including one that Michael took care about
already (NULL regigstration lookups we saw).
I fear we have to dig into the thing enough to understand why the mixer
controls have gone away.
Either it's intentional and wm8753 driver changed to no longer expose
them, or it's accidental and then we are not setting the state of those
hardware elements any more down at the chip with aslactl.
I don't check a lot, but that controls exist, or now the access to them
report
an error to the alsa library? When alsa library do the cycle to read the
config
file and fails, abort all other control registration and inizialization.
What will give results is build an older version, and add printks to see
where and when these now missing mixer controls get registered. Then go
back to HEAD and follow the same path until it differs, then we know the
issue.
I do a test with the older version and all seems to be equal. I
recompile test control.c
and report the same structure. The filesystem is the same, the widget
element too. I will
check for mixer name that I removed, can you check too?
