-Documentation for the AD1816(A) sound driver
-============================================
-
-Installation:
--------------
-
-To get your AD1816(A) based sound card work, you'll have to enable support for
-experimental code ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers")
-and isapnp ("Plug and Play support", "ISA Plug and Play support"). Enable
-"Sound card support", "OSS modules support" and "Support for AD1816(A) based
-cards (EXPERIMENTAL)" in the sound configuration menu, too. Now build, install
-and reboot the new kernel as usual.
-
-Features:
----------
-
-List of features supported by this driver:
-- full-duplex support
-- supported audio formats: unsigned 8bit, signed 16bit little endian,
- signed 16bit big endian, µ-law, A-law
-- supported channels: mono and stereo
-- supported recording sources: Master, CD, Line, Line1, Line2, Mic
-- supports phat 3d stereo circuit (Line 3)
-
-
-Supported cards:
-----------------
-
-The following cards are known to work with this driver:
-- Terratec Base 1
-- Terratec Base 64
-- HP Kayak
-- Acer FX-3D
-- SY-1816
-- Highscreen Sound-Boostar 32 Wave 3D
-- Highscreen Sound-Boostar 16
-- AVM Apex Pro card
-- (Aztech SC-16 3D)
-- (Newcom SC-16 3D)
-- (Terratec EWS64S)
-
-Cards listed in brackets are not supported reliable. If you have such a card
-you should add the extra parameter:
- options=1
-when loading the ad1816 module via modprobe.
-
-
-Troubleshooting:
-----------------
-
-First of all you should check, if the driver has been loaded
-properly.
-
-If loading of the driver succeeds, but playback/capture fails, check
-if you used the correct values for irq, dma and dma2 when loading the module.
-If one of them is wrong you usually get the following error message:
-
-Nov 6 17:06:13 tek01 kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
-
-If playback/capture is too fast or to slow, you should have a look at
-the clock chip of your sound card. The AD1816 was designed for a 33MHz
-oscillator, however most sound card manufacturer use slightly
-different oscillators as they are cheaper than 33MHz oscillators. If
-you have such a card you have to adjust the ad1816_clockfreq parameter
-above. For example: For a card using a 32.875MHz oscillator use
-ad1816_clockfreq=32875 instead of ad1816_clockfreq=33000.
-
-
-Updates, bugfixes and bugreports:
---------------------------------
-
-As the driver is still experimental and under development, you should
-watch out for updates. Updates of the driver are available on the
-Internet from one of my home pages:
- http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~tek/projects/linux.html
-or:
- http://www.tu-darmstadt.de/~tek01/projects/linux.html
-
-Bugreports, bugfixes and related questions should be sent via E-Mail to:
- tek@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de

-=======================================================
-Documentation for the NeoMagic 256AV/256ZX sound driver
-=======================================================
-
-You're looking at version 1.1 of the driver. (Woohoo!) It has been
-successfully tested against the following laptop models:
-
- Sony Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX/Z505RX
- Sony F150, F160, F180, F250, F270, F280, PCG-F26
- Dell Latitude CPi, CPt (various submodels)
-
-There are a few caveats, which is why you should read the entirety of
-this document first.
-
-This driver was developed without any support or assistance from
-NeoMagic. There is no warranty, expressed, implied, or otherwise. It
-is free software in the public domain; feel free to use it, sell it,
-give it to your best friends, even claim that you wrote it (but why?!)
-but don't go whining to me, NeoMagic, Sony, Dell, or anyone else
-when it blows up your computer.
-
-Version 1.1 contains a change to try and detect non-AC97 versions of
-the hardware, and not install itself appropriately. It should also
-reinitialize the hardware on an APM resume event, assuming that APM
-was configured into your kernel.
-
-============
-Installation
-============
-
-Enable the sound drivers, the OSS sound drivers, and then the NM256
-driver. The NM256 driver *must* be configured as a module (it won't
-give you any other choice).
-
-Next, do the usual "make modules" and "make modules_install".
-Finally, insmod the soundcore, sound and nm256 modules.
-
-When the nm256 driver module is loaded, you should see a couple of
-confirmation messages in the kernel logfile indicating that it found
-the device (the device does *not* use any I/O ports or DMA channels).
-Now try playing a wav file, futz with the CD-ROM if you have one, etc.
-
-The NM256 is entirely a PCI-based device, and all the necessary
-information is automatically obtained from the card. It can only be
-configured as a module in a vain attempt to prevent people from
-hurting themselves. It works correctly if it shares an IRQ with
-another device (it normally shares IRQ 9 with the builtin eepro100
-ethernet on the Sony Z505 laptops).
-
-It does not run the card in any sort of compatibility mode. It will
-not work on laptops that have the SB16-compatible, AD1848-compatible
-or CS4232-compatible codec/mixer; you will want to use the appropriate
-compatible OSS driver with these chipsets. I cannot provide any
-assistance with machines using the SB16, AD1848 or CS4232 compatible
-versions. (The driver now attempts to detect the mixer version, and
-will refuse to load if it believes the hardware is not
-AC97-compatible.)
-
-The sound support is very basic, but it does include simultaneous
-playback and record capability. The mixer support is also quite
-simple, although this is in keeping with the rather limited
-functionality of the chipset.
-
-There is no hardware synthesizer available, as the Losedows OPL-3 and
-MIDI support is done via hardware emulation.
-
-Only three recording devices are available on the Sony: the
-microphone, the CD-ROM input, and the volume device (which corresponds
-to the stereo output). (Other devices may be available on other
-models of laptops.) The Z505 series does not have a builtin CD-ROM,
-so of course the CD-ROM input doesn't work. It does work on laptops
-with a builtin CD-ROM drive.
-
-The mixer device does not appear to have any tone controls, at least
-on the Z505 series. The mixer module checks for tone controls in the
-AC97 mixer, and will enable them if they are available.
-
-==============
-Known problems
-==============
-
- * There are known problems with PCMCIA cards and the eepro100 ethernet
- driver on the Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX. Keep reading.
-
- * There are also potential problems with using a virtual X display, and
- also problems loading the module after the X server has been started.
- Keep reading.
-
- * The volume control isn't anywhere near linear. Sorry. This will be
- fixed eventually, when I get sufficiently annoyed with it. (I doubt
- it will ever be fixed now, since I've never gotten sufficiently
- annoyed with it and nobody else seems to care.)
-
- * There are reports that the CD-ROM volume is very low. Since I do not
- have a CD-ROM equipped laptop, I cannot test this (it's kinda hard to
- do remotely).
-
- * Only 8 fixed-rate speeds are supported. This is mainly a chipset
- limitation. It may be possible to support other speeds in the future.
-
- * There is no support for the telephone mixer/codec. There is support
- for a phonein/phoneout device in the mixer driver; whether or not
- it does anything is anyone's guess. (Reports on this would be
- appreciated. You'll have to figure out how to get the phone to
- go off-hook before it'll work, tho.)
-
- * This driver was not written with any cooperation or support from
- NeoMagic. If you have any questions about this, see their website
- for their official stance on supporting open source drivers.
-
-============
-Video memory
-============
-
-The NeoMagic sound engine uses a portion of the display memory to hold
-the sound buffer. (Crazy, eh?) The NeoMagic video BIOS sets up a
-special pointer at the top of video RAM to indicate where the top of
-the audio buffer should be placed.
-
-At the present time XFree86 is apparently not aware of this. It will
-thus write over either the pointer or the sound buffer with abandon.
-(Accelerated-X seems to do a better job here.)
-
-This implies a few things:
-
- * Sometimes the NM256 driver has to guess at where the buffer
- should be placed, especially if the module is loaded after the
- X server is started. It's usually correct, but it will consistently
- fail on the Sony F250.
-
- * Virtual screens greater than 1024x768x16 under XFree86 are
- problematic on laptops with only 2.5MB of screen RAM. This
- includes all of the 256AV-equipped laptops. (Virtual displays
- may or may not work on the 256ZX, which has at least 4MB of
- video RAM.)
-
-If you start having problems with random noise being output either
-constantly (this is the usual symptom on the F250), or when windows
-are moved around (this is the usual symptom when using a virtual
-screen), the best fix is to
-
- * Don't use a virtual frame buffer.
- * Make sure you load the NM256 module before the X server is
- started.
-
-On the F250, it is possible to force the driver to load properly even
-after the XFree86 server is started by doing:
-
- insmod nm256 buffertop=0x25a800
-
-This forces the audio buffers to the correct offset in screen RAM.
-
-One user has reported a similar problem on the Sony F270, although
-others apparently aren't seeing any problems. His suggested command
-is
-
- insmod nm256 buffertop=0x272800
-
-=================
-Official WWW site
-=================
-
-The official site for the NM256 driver is:
-
- http://www.uglx.org/sony.html
-
-You should always be able to get the latest version of the driver there,
-and the driver will be supported for the foreseeable future.
-
-==============
-Z505RX and IDE
-==============
-
-There appears to be a problem with the IDE chipset on the Z505RX; one
-of the symptoms is that sound playback periodically hangs (when the
-disk is accessed). The user reporting the problem also reported that
-enabling all of the IDE chipset workarounds in the kernel solved the
-problem, tho obviously only one of them should be needed--if someone
-can give me more details I would appreciate it.
-
-==============================
-Z505S/Z505SX on-board Ethernet
-==============================
-
-If you're using the on-board Ethernet Pro/100 ethernet support on the Z505
-series, I strongly encourage you to download the latest eepro100 driver from
-Donald Becker's site:
-
- ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/test/eepro100.c
-
-There was a reported problem on the Z505SX that if the ethernet
-interface is disabled and reenabled while the sound driver is loaded,
-the machine would lock up. I have included a workaround that is
-working satisfactorily. However, you may occasionally see a message
-about "Releasing interrupts, over 1000 bad interrupts" which indicates
-that the workaround is doing its job.
-
-==================================
-PCMCIA and the Z505S/Z505SX/Z505DX
-==================================
-
-There is also a known problem with the Sony Z505S and Z505SX hanging
-if a PCMCIA card is inserted while the ethernet driver is loaded, or
-in some cases if the laptop is suspended. This is caused by tons of
-spurious IRQ 9s, probably generated from the PCMCIA or ACPI bridges.
-
-There is currently no fix for the problem that works in every case.
-The only known workarounds are to disable the ethernet interface
-before inserting or removing a PCMCIA card, or with some cards
-disabling the PCMCIA card before ejecting it will also help the
-problem with the laptop hanging when the card is ejected.
-
-One user has reported that setting the tcic's cs_irq to some value
-other than 9 (like 11) fixed the problem. This doesn't work on my
-Z505S, however--changing the value causes the cardmgr to stop seeing
-card insertions and removals, cards don't seem to work correctly, and
-I still get hangs if a card is inserted when the kernel is booted.
-
-Using the latest ethernet driver and pcmcia package allows me to
-insert an Adaptec 1480A SlimScsi card without the laptop hanging,
-although I still have to shut down the card before ejecting or
-powering down the laptop. However, similar experiments with a DE-660
-ethernet card still result in hangs when the card is inserted. I am
-beginning to think that the interrupts are CardBus-related, since the
-Adaptec card is a CardBus card, and the DE-660 is not; however, I
-don't have any other CardBus cards to test with.
-
-======
-Thanks
-======
-
-First, I want to thank everyone (except NeoMagic of course) for their
-generous support and encouragement. I'd like to list everyone's name
-here that replied during the development phase, but the list is
-amazingly long.
-
-I will be rather unfair and single out a few people, however:
-
- Justin Maurer, for being the first random net.person to try it,
- and for letting me login to his Z505SX to get it working there
-
- Edi Weitz for trying out several different versions, and giving
- me a lot of useful feedback
-
- Greg Rumple for letting me login remotely to get the driver
- functional on the 256ZX, for his assistance on tracking
- down all sorts of random stuff, and for trying out Accel-X
-
- Zach Brown, for the initial AC97 mixer interface design
-
- Jeff Garzik, for various helpful suggestions on the AC97
- interface
-
- "Mr. Bumpy" for feedback on the Z505RX
-
- Bill Nottingham, for generous assistance in getting the mixer ID
- code working
-
-=================
-Previous versions
-=================
-
-Versions prior to 0.3 (aka `noname') had problems with weird artifacts
-in the output and failed to set the recording rate properly. These
-problems have long since been fixed.
-
-Versions prior to 0.5 had problems with clicks in the output when
-anything other than 16-bit stereo sound was being played, and also had
-periodic clicks when recording.
-
-Version 0.7 first incorporated support for the NM256ZX chipset, which
-is found on some Dell Latitude laptops (the CPt, and apparently
-some CPi models as well). It also included the generic AC97
-mixer module.
-
-Version 0.75 renamed all the functions and files with slightly more
-generic names.
-
-Note that previous versions of this document claimed that recording was
-8-bit only; it actually has been working for 16-bits all along.

-Documentation for the OPL3-SA2, SA3, and SAx driver (opl3sa2.o)
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Scott Murray, scott@spiteful.org
-January 7, 2001
-
-NOTE: All trade-marked terms mentioned below are properties of their
- respective owners.
-
-
-Supported Devices
------------------
-
-This driver is for PnP soundcards based on the following Yamaha audio
-controller chipsets:
-
-YMF711 aka OPL3-SA2
-YMF715 and YMF719 aka OPL3-SA3
-
-Up until recently (December 2000), I'd thought the 719 to be a
-different chipset, the OPL3-SAx. After an email exhange with
-Yamaha, however, it turns out that the 719 is just a re-badged
-715, and the chipsets are identical. The chipset detection code
-has been updated to reflect this.
-
-Anyways, all of these chipsets implement the following devices:
-
-OPL3 FM synthesizer
-Soundblaster Pro
-Microsoft/Windows Sound System
-MPU401 MIDI interface
-
-Note that this driver uses the MSS device, and to my knowledge these
-chipsets enforce an either/or situation with the Soundblaster Pro
-device and the MSS device. Since the MSS device has better
-capabilities, I have implemented the driver to use it.
-
-
-Mixer Channels
---------------
-
-Older versions of this driver (pre-December 2000) had two mixers,
-an OPL3-SA2 or SA3 mixer and a MSS mixer. The OPL3-SA[23] mixer
-device contained a superset of mixer channels consisting of its own
-channels and all of the MSS mixer channels. To simplify the driver
-considerably, and to partition functionality better, the OPL3-SA[23]
-mixer device now contains has its own specific mixer channels. They
-are:
-
-Volume - Hardware master volume control
-Bass - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels
-Treble - SA3 only, now supports left and right channels
-Microphone - Hardware microphone input volume control
-Digital1 - Yamaha 3D enhancement "Wide" mixer
-
-All other mixer channels (e.g. "PCM", "CD", etc.) now have to be
-controlled via the "MS Sound System (CS4231)" mixer. To facilitate
-this, the mixer device creation order has been switched so that
-the MSS mixer is created first. This allows accessing the majority
-of the useful mixer channels even via single mixer-aware tools
-such as "aumix".
-
-
-Plug 'n Play
-------------
-
-In previous kernels (2.2.x), some configuration was required to
-get the driver to talk to the card. Being the new millennium and
-all, the 2.4.x kernels now support auto-configuration if ISA PnP
-support is configured in. Theoretically, the driver even supports
-having more than one card in this case.
-
-With the addition of PnP support to the driver, two new parameters
-have been added to control it:
-
-isapnp - set to 0 to disable ISA PnP card detection
-
-multiple - set to 0 to disable multiple PnP card detection
-
-
-Optional Parameters
--------------------
-
-Recent (December 2000) additions to the driver (based on a patch
-provided by Peter Englmaier) are two new parameters:
-
-ymode - Set Yamaha 3D enhancement mode:
- 0 = Desktop/Normal 5-12 cm speakers
- 1 = Notebook PC (1) 3 cm speakers
- 2 = Notebook PC (2) 1.5 cm speakers
- 3 = Hi-Fi 16-38 cm speakers
-
-loopback - Set A/D input source. Useful for echo cancellation:
- 0 = Mic Right channel (default)
- 1 = Mono output loopback
-
-The ymode parameter has been tested and does work. The loopback
-parameter, however, is untested. Any feedback on its usefulness
-would be appreciated.
-
-
-Manual Configuration
---------------------
-
-If for some reason you decide not to compile ISA PnP support into
-your kernel, or disabled the driver's usage of it by setting the
-isapnp parameter as discussed above, then you will need to do some
-manual configuration. There are two ways of doing this. The most
-common is to use the isapnptools package to initialize the card, and
-use the kernel module form of the sound subsystem and sound drivers.
-Alternatively, some BIOS's allow manual configuration of installed
-PnP devices in a BIOS menu, which should allow using the non-modular
-sound drivers, i.e. built into the kernel.
-
-I personally use isapnp and modules, and do not have access to a PnP
-BIOS machine to test. If you have such a beast, configuring the
-driver to be built into the kernel should just work (thanks to work
-done by David Luyer <luyer@ucs.uwa.edu.au>). You will still need
-to specify settings, which can be done by adding:
-
-opl3sa2=<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<mssio>,<mpuio>
-
-to the kernel command line. For example:
-
-opl3sa2=0x370,5,0,1,0x530,0x330
-
-If you are instead using the isapnp tools (as most people have been
-before Linux 2.4.x), follow the directions in their documentation to
-produce a configuration file. Here is the relevant excerpt I used to
-use for my SA3 card from my isapnp.conf:
-
-(CONFIGURE YMH0800/-1 (LD 0
-
-# NOTE: IO 0 is for the unused SoundBlaster part of the chipset.
-(IO 0 (BASE 0x0220))
-(IO 1 (BASE 0x0530))
-(IO 2 (BASE 0x0388))
-(IO 3 (BASE 0x0330))
-(IO 4 (BASE 0x0370))
-(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
-(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
-(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 1))
-
-Here, note that:
-
-Port Acceptable Range Purpose
----- ---------------- -------
-IO 0 0x0220 - 0x0280 SB base address, unused.
-IO 1 0x0530 - 0x0F48 MSS base address
-IO 2 0x0388 - 0x03F8 OPL3 base address
-IO 3 0x0300 - 0x0334 MPU base address
-IO 4 0x0100 - 0x0FFE card's own base address for its control I/O ports
-
-The IRQ and DMA values can be any that are considered acceptable for a
-MSS. Assuming you've got isapnp all happy, then you should be able to
-do something like the following (which matches up with the isapnp
-configuration above):
-
-modprobe mpu401
-modprobe ad1848
-modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
-modprobe opl3 io=0x388
-
-See the section "Automatic Module Loading" below for how to set up
-/etc/modprobe.conf to automate this.
-
-An important thing to remember that the opl3sa2 module's io argument is
-for it's own control port, which handles the card's master mixer for
-volume (on all cards), and bass and treble (on SA3 cards).
-
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-If all goes well and you see no error messages, you should be able to
-start using the sound capabilities of your system. If you get an
-error message while trying to insert the opl3sa2 module, then make
-sure that the values of the various arguments match what you specified
-in your isapnp configuration file, and that there is no conflict with
-another device for an I/O port or interrupt. Checking the contents of
-/proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts can be useful to see if you're
-butting heads with another device.
-
-If you still cannot get the module to load, look at the contents of
-your system log file, usually /var/log/messages. If you see the
-message "opl3sa2: Unknown Yamaha audio controller version", then you
-have a different chipset version than I've encountered so far. Look
-for all messages in the log file that start with "opl3sa2: " and see
-if they provide any clues. If you do not see the chipset version
-message, and none of the other messages present in the system log are
-helpful, email me some details and I'll try my best to help.
-
-
-Automatic Module Loading
-------------------------
-
-Lastly, if you're using modules and want to set up automatic module
-loading with kmod, the kernel module loader, here is the section I
-currently use in my modprobe.conf file:
-
-# Sound
-alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2
-options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=7 dma=0 dma2=3
-options opl3 io=0x388
-
-That's all it currently takes to get an OPL3-SA3 card working on my
-system. Once again, if you have any other problems, email me at the
-address listed above.

-Running sound cards on VIA chipsets
-
-o There are problems with VIA chipsets and sound cards that appear to
- lock the hardware solidly. Test programs under DOS have verified the
- problem exists on at least some (but apparently not all) VIA boards
-
-o VIA have so far failed to bother to answer support mail on the subject
- so if you are a VIA engineer feeling aggrieved as you read this
- document go chase your own people. If there is a workaround please
- let us know so we can implement it.

-
-Certain patterns of ISA DMA access used for most PC sound cards cause the

-wide range of boards. Some also lock up with sound cards under Win* as well.

-Linux implements a workaround providing your chipset is PCI and you compiled
-with PCI Quirks enabled. If so you will see a message
- "Activating ISA DMA bug workarounds"
-
-during booting. If you have a VIA PCI chipset that hangs when you use the
-sound and is not generating this message even with PCI quirks enabled
-please report the information to the linux-kernel list (see REPORTING-BUGS).
-
-If you are one of the tiny number of unfortunates with a 486 ISA/VLB VIA
-chipset board you need to do the following to build a special kernel for
-your board
-
- edit linux/include/asm-i386/dma.h
-
-change
-
-#define isa_dma_bridge_buggy (0)
-
-to
-
-#define isa_dma_bridge_buggy (1)
-
-and rebuild a kernel without PCI quirk support.
-
-
-Other than this particular glitch the VIA [M]VP* chipsets appear to work
-perfectly with Linux.

-Documentation for the Cirrus Logic/Crystal SoundFusion cs46xx/cs4280 audio
-controller chips (2001/05/11)
-
-The cs46xx audio driver supports the DSP line of Cirrus controllers.
-Specifically, the cs4610, cs4612, cs4614, cs4622, cs4624, cs4630 and the cs4280
-products. This driver uses the generic ac97_codec driver for AC97 codec
-support.
-
-
-Features:
-
-Full Duplex Playback/Capture supported from 8k-48k.
-16Bit Signed LE & 8Bit Unsigned, with Mono or Stereo supported.
-
-APM/PM - 2.2.x PM is enabled and functional. APM can also
-be enabled for 2.4.x by modifying the CS46XX_ACPI_SUPPORT macro
-definition.
-
-DMA playback buffer size is configurable from 16k (defaultorder=2) up to 2Meg
-(defaultorder=11). DMA capture buffer size is fixed at a single 4k page as
-two 2k fragments.
-
-MMAP seems to work well with QuakeIII, and test XMMS plugin.
-
-Myth2 works, but the polling logic is not fully correct, but is functional.
-
-The 2.4.4-ac6 gameport code in the cs461x joystick driver has been tested
-with a Microsoft Sidewinder joystick (cs461x.o and sidewinder.o). This
-audio driver must be loaded prior to the joystick driver to enable the
-DSP task image supporting the joystick device.
-
-
-Limitations:
-
-SPDIF is currently not supported.
-
-Primary codec support only. No secondary codec support is implemented.
-
-
-
-NOTES:
-
-Hercules Game Theatre XP - the EGPIO2 pin controls the external Amp,
-and has been tested.
-Module parameter hercules_egpio_disable set to 1, will force a 0 to EGPIODR
-to disable the external amplifier.
-
-VTB Santa Cruz - the GPIO7/GPIO8 on the Secondary Codec control
-the external amplifier for the "back" speakers, since we do not
-support the secondary codec then this external amp is not
-turned on. The primary codec external amplifier is supported but
-note that the AC97 EAPD bit is inverted logic (amp_voyetra()).
-
-DMA buffer size - there are issues with many of the Linux applications
-concerning the optimal buffer size. Several applications request a
-certain fragment size and number and then do not verify that the driver
-has the ability to support the requested configuration.
-SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT ioctl is used to request a fragment size and
-number of fragments. Some applications exit if an error is returned
-on this particular ioctl. Therefore, in alignment with the other OSS audio
-drivers, no error is returned when a SETFRAGs IOCTL is received, but the
-values passed from the app are not used in any buffer calculation
-(ossfragshift/ossmaxfrags are not used).
-Use the "defaultorder=N" module parameter to change the buffer size if
-you have an application that requires a specific number of fragments
-or a specific buffer size (see below).
-
-Debug Interface
----------------
-There is an ioctl debug interface to allow runtime modification of the
-debug print levels. This debug interface code can be disabled from the
-compilation process with commenting the following define:
-#define CSDEBUG_INTERFACE 1
-There is also a debug print methodolgy to select printf statements from
-different areas of the driver. A debug print level is also used to allow
-additional printfs to be active. Comment out the following line in the
-driver to disable compilation of the CS_DBGOUT print statements:
-#define CSDEBUG 1
-
-Please see the definitions for cs_debuglevel and cs_debugmask for additional
-information on the debug levels and sections.
-
-There is also a csdbg executable to allow runtime manipulation of these
-parameters. for a copy email: twoller@crystal.cirrus.com

-MODULE_PARMS definitions
-------------------------
-module_param(defaultorder, ulong, 0);
-defaultorder=N
-where N is a value from 1 to 12
-The buffer order determines the size of the dma buffer for the driver.
-under Linux, a smaller buffer allows more responsiveness from many of the
-applications (e.g. games). A larger buffer allows some of the apps (esound)
-to not underrun the dma buffer as easily. As default, use 32k (order=3)
-rather than 64k as some of the games work more responsively.
-(2^N) * PAGE_SIZE = allocated buffer size
-
-module_param(cs_debuglevel, ulong, 0644);
-module_param(cs_debugmask, ulong, 0644);
-cs_debuglevel=N
-cs_debugmask=0xMMMMMMMM
-where N is a value from 0 (no debug printfs), to 9 (maximum)
-0xMMMMMMMM is a debug mask corresponding to the CS_xxx bits (see driver source).
-
-module_param(hercules_egpio_disable, ulong, 0);
-hercules_egpio_disable=N
-where N is a 0 (enable egpio), or a 1 (disable egpio support)
-
-module_param(initdelay, ulong, 0);
-initdelay=N
-This value is used to determine the millescond delay during the initialization
-code prior to powering up the PLL. On laptops this value can be used to
-assist with errors on resume, mostly with IBM laptops. Basically, if the
-system is booted under battery power then the mdelay()/udelay() functions fail to
-properly delay the required time. Also, if the system is booted under AC power
-and then the power removed, the mdelay()/udelay() functions will not delay properly.
-
-module_param(powerdown, ulong, 0);
-powerdown=N
-where N is 0 (disable any powerdown of the internal blocks) or 1 (enable powerdown)
-
-
-module_param(external_amp, bool, 0);
-external_amp=1
-if N is set to 1, then force enabling the EAPD support in the primary AC97 codec.
-override the detection logic and force the external amp bit in the AC97 0x26 register
-to be reset (0). EAPD should be 0 for powerup, and 1 for powerdown. The VTB Santa Cruz
-card has inverted logic, so there is a special function for these cards.
-
-module_param(thinkpad, bool, 0);
-thinkpad=1
-if N is set to 1, then force enabling the clkrun functionality.
-Currently, when the part is being used, then clkrun is disabled for the entire system,
-but re-enabled when the driver is released or there is no outstanding open count.
