SubjectRegression in 3.0-git after commit c82693db52beced0419cecf09a3c81adfe95a544 - sound does not work
In the latest git pull of 3.0-git from Linus's tree, the sound on my HP laptop 
does not work. This problem was bisected to the commit in the subject.

The lspci output for my sound device is:

00:07.0 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio
[10de:055c] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30d6]
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

I further isolated the problem to the following hunk:

diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c b/sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c
index 6e90b6b..4ca880b 100644
--- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c
+++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c
@@ -1994,10 +1990,8 @@ static int patch_cxt5051(struct hda_codec *codec)
board_config = snd_hda_check_board_config(codec, CXT5051_MODELS,
cxt5051_models,
cxt5051_cfg_tbl);
-#if 0 /* use the old method just for safety */
if (board_config < 0)
- board_config = CXT5051_AUTO;
-#endif
+ board_config = CXT5051_AUTO; /* model=auto as default */
if (board_config == CXT5051_AUTO)
return patch_conexant_auto(codec);

In my case, snd_hda_check_board_config() returns -1. Thus, the new code returns
the value of patch_conexant_auto(), whereas the original version fell through to
the setup code below. Clearly, this is needed for my device.
I will be happy to provide any further information you need. I have not yet
prepared a bugzilla report, but I will later.

Thanks,

Larry
