As of know we do not have UCM for the driver in upstream. In fact it is= not=20 recommended at the moment to use the upstream driver since we do not ha= ve the=20 ABE/dynamic PCM upstream. There are UCM files shipped with distributions (like Linaro, ubuntu), b= ut=20 those UCM files will not work with the upstream kernel (due to the miss= ing=20 parts). It can be also confusing to have the same card name for fundamentally=20 different sound cards. We do support the kernel shipped with distributions (with patched up AS= oC),=20 but we also need to support clean upstream version. Having to deal with= =20 mismatching UCM files does not really help here. I have not planned to change the card names in the future. Having said that I can revert back to use the names used by Linaro for = example=20 (even if the cards are different): SPD4430/Panda/PandaES If I write the UCM file it will be for the vanilla upstream sound, so w= e will=20 have UCM files upstream, which does not work on the Distributions - I t= hink=20 this is even more confusing than having different card names initially = untill=20 we get everything upstream. -- P=E9ter PS: Liam: what is your take on this? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
