People who include this driver (either because they added it thinking it wouldn't do much), or because their distro compiles lots of stuff as module, could potentially get surprised, if it renumbers how the soundcards are enumerated. On my system, my sound card ended up going from hw:0 to hw:1, which given my ~/.asoundrc, meant that sound appeared to be broken with errors such as this:
aplay: set_params:900: Sample format non available
Once I edited by ~/.asoundrc file to use hw:1 instead of hw:0 the problem went away, so it's really not a kernel _bug_ per se, but the result might be surprising. Maybe there should be a quick warning in the Kconfig file? It's not that big of a deal, but I did end up spending quite a bit of time trying to track down what I initially thought was a regression.
