    ALSA: usb-audio: Inform devices that need delayed registration · a4aad563
    Takashi Iwai authored
    The USB-audio driver may call snd_card_register() multiple times as
    its probe function is per USB interface while some USB-audio devices
    may provide multiple interfaces to assign different streams although
    they belong to the same device.  This works in most cases but the
    registration is racy, hence it may miss the device recognition,
    e.g. PA doesn't see certain devices when hotplugged.
    
    The recent addition of the delayed registration quirk allows to sync
    the registration at the last known interface, and the previous commit
    added a new module option to allow the dynamic setup for that
    purpose.
    
    Now, this patch tries to find out and notifies for such devices that
    require the delayed registration.  It shows a message like:
    
      Found post-registration device assignment: 1234abcd:02
    
    If you hit this message, you can pass delayed_register module option
    like:
    
      snd_usb_audio.delayed_register=1234abcd:02
    
    by just copying the last shown entry.  If this works, it can be added
    statically in the quirk list, registration_quirks[] found at the end
    of sound/usb/quirks.c.
