I tried with my CS4231 and that didn't work. Loading the module
snd-sun-cs4231 manually works fine.

Maybe the following debug output is of interest:

# /sbin/modprobe -a -l | grep 'snd-sun-'
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1-sparc64/kernel/sound/sparc/snd-sun-cs4231.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1-sparc64/kernel/sound/sparc/snd-sun-amd7930.ko

/proc/openprom# find /proc/openprom -follow -type d -name "SUNW,*"
/proc/openprom/packages/SUNW,builtin-drivers
/proc/openprom/SUNW,UltraSPARC-III@40,0
/proc/openprom/pci@40,4600000/SUNW,qlc@4
/proc/openprom/upa@40,4480000/SUNW,afb@1c,0

(On A SunBlade 1000.)

So there's no 'SUNW,CS4231*' which results in the whole patch giving no
output.

Is this problem related to the above
