[PATCH] Patch Dreamcast AICA driver to handle Maple bus support

This patches the AICA sound driver for the Dreamcast to handle the well known flakiness of the Dreamcast's G2 bus. This is dependent on getting Maple bus support (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/9/70) into the kernel. Signed-off by: Adrian McMenamin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> diff --git a/sound/sh/aica

The trick for finding the right defconfig is neat, but you forgot to provide an i686_defconfig. ;-) More seriously, cross compiling the defconfig is often useful, e.g. for testing the compilation of patches that touch multiple architectures, and this patch therefore chooses g5_defconfig if $(C
