410Early Patching
411~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
412When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a
413firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the
414codec. This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in
415the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration.
416
417A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below:
418
419------------------------------------------------------------------------
420 [codec]
421 0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2
422
423 [model]
424 auto
425
426 [pincfg]
427 0x12 0x411111f0
428
429 [verb]
430 0x20 0x500 0x03
431 0x20 0x400 0xff
432
433 [hint]
434 hp_detect = yes
435------------------------------------------------------------------------
436
437The file needs to have a line `[codec]`. The next line should contain
438three numbers indicating the codec vendor-id (0x12345678 in the
439example), the codec subsystem-id (0xabcd1234) and the address (2) of
440the codec. The rest patch entries are applied to this specified codec
441until another codec entry is given.
442
443The `[model]` line allows to change the model name of the each codec.
444In the example above, it will be changed to model=auto.
445Note that this overrides the module option.
446
447After the `[pincfg]` line, the contents are parsed as the initial
448default pin-configurations just like `user_pin_configs` sysfs above.
449The values can be shown in user_pin_configs sysfs file, too.
450
451Similarly, the lines after `[verb]` are parsed as `init_verbs`
452sysfs entries, and the lines after `[hint]` are parsed as `hints`
453sysfs entries, respectively.
454
455The hd-audio driver reads the file via request_firmware(). Thus,
456a patch file has to be located on the appropriate firmware path,
457typically, /lib/firmware. For example, when you pass the option
458`patch=hda-init.fw`, the file /lib/firmware/hda-init-fw must be
459present.
460
461The patch module option is specific to each card instance, and you
462need to give one file name for each instance, separated by commas.
463For example, if you have two cards, one for an on-board analog and one
464for an HDMI video board, you may pass patch option like below:
465------------------------------------------------------------------------
466 options snd-hda-intel patch=on-board-patch,hdmi-patch
