Public bug reported: [Impact] the alsa upstream worte the ucm3 files for amd renoir audio, but to load the ucm3, it depends on the kernel module name, and the upstream ucm3 needs the name snd-xxx, so we need to backport the patches from mainline kernel to change the kernel module name to meet ucm3 requirement. BTW, there are some dmic dynamically detection patches, we integrate them too.
[Fix] Backport 1 patch from upstream. [Test Case] boot the kernel with the patch on amd renoir machines (lenovo machines), the audio driver works well (via command line like aplay or areord), then upgrade the alsa-lib and alsa-ucm-conf to 1.2.3.2, now we could see the audio devices from gnome, and they work well. [Regression Risk] Low, this SRU are only specific to soc/amd/renoir, and we already tested on 2 lenovo machines, their audio worked as before. ** Affects: hwe-next Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Hui Wang (hui.wang) Status: Incomplete ** Affects: linux-oem-5.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Affects: linux-oem-5.6 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: oem-priority originate-from-1867844 sutton ** Also affects: linux-oem-5.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux-oem-5.6 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - soc/amd/renoir: change the module name to mke it work with ucm3 + soc/amd/renoir: change the module name to make it work with ucm3 ** Tags added: oem-priority originate-from-1867844 sutton ** Description changed: - For focal and oem-5.6 kernel, these all 5 patches are needed, for - groovy kernel, since the 1st patch is already in the 5.8 kernel, the - groovy kernel only needs the last 3 patches [3/5, 4/5 and 5/5].
