Takashi Iwai d8cac6207e ALSA: cmipci: Allow disabling MPU port via module option
Patrick May reported that his sound card with CMI8378 chip causes a
crash / reboot when accessing the MIDI port that isn't actually
present on the board.  Moreover, despite of the documentation,
passing mpu_port=0 doesn't disable the MIDI port on this board.

It implies that the chip is a newer revision and the MPU401 port is
integrated and mapped on the PCI register.  For this chip model, the
driver enables the MPU port unconditionally, so far.

Although fixing the unexpected reboot would be the best solution, it's
not so trivial to identify the cause.  So, as a plan B, this patch
extends the existing mpu_port option usage to allow disabling the port
by specifying the value 0, just like we applied for fm_port option in
commit 2f24d159d5 ("[ALSA] cmipci - Allow to disable integrated FM
port").  As default, the MPU port is still enabled, but user can pass
mpu_port=0 to disable it.

   RT5668 and TI TSCS454
 
 HD-audio:
 - Finally better support for some CA0132 boards, allowing Windows
   firmware
 - HP Spectre x360 support along with a bulk of COEF stuff
 - Blacklisting power save default some known boards reported on Fedora
 
 USB-audio:
 - Continued improvements on UAC3 support; now BADD is supported
 - Fixes / improvements for Dell WD15 dock
 - Allow DMA coherent pages for PCM buffers for ARCH, MIPS & co
 
 Others:
 - New Xen sound frontend driver support

Takashi Iwai f274baa49b ALSA: usb-audio: Allow non-vmalloc buffer for PCM buffers
Currently, USB-audio driver allocates the PCM buffer via vmalloc(), as
this serves merely as an intermediate buffer that is copied to each
URB transfer buffer.  This works well in general on x86, but on some
archs this may result in cache coherency issues when mmap is used.
OTOH, it works also on such arch unless mmap is used.

This patch is a step for mitigating the inconvenience; a new module
option "use_vmalloc" is provided so that user can choose to allocate
the DMA coherent buffer instead of the existing vmalloc buffer.
The drawback is that it'd be the standard dma_alloc_coherent() calls
and the system would require contiguous pages on non-x86 archs.

Note that it's a global option and not dynamically switchable since
the buffer is pre-allocated at the probe time.  In theory, it's
possible to be switchable, but it'd be trickier and racier.

As default use_vmalloc option is set to true, so that the old behavior
is kept.  For allowing the coherent mmap on ARM or MIPS, pass
use_vmalloc=0 option explicitly.
