I've been playing with those patches for a while on 4.19, but those patches
won't work on their own, they depend on some other stuff that has been
commited as well. All that would mean a lot of changes.
So, it seems that 4.21 will have a solution for this through a lot of
changes and updates on the drivers, ...
But, if we are going to go with 4.19 I believe that the simple change I was
proposing which works as expected is going to give us audio on the pi and
only affects the pi, is a clean solution that would solve the problem.
I don't see the problem on applying this patch on Debian while upstream
evolves the drivers even more on 4.21 and next versions, all we do is enable
what is available on 4.19 like it was coded.
Any chance for this to happen?
Regards.
