ALSA: HDA: intel-sdw-acpi: add kernel parameter to select alternate controller
Existing DSDT or SSDT platforms hard-code clock and frame shape configurations. For validation, we'd like to use alternate configurations. It's not always possible to generate new tables due to missing symbols, and modifying existing objects usually leads to AE_OBJECT_EXIST errors. The mechanism suggested in this patch is to add a NEW ACPI controller device with a different _ADR value. e.g. Scope (_SB_.PC00.RP08.PXSX.HDAS) { Device (SDWP) { Name (_ADR, 0x40000001) // _ADR: Address The desired _ADR can be passed as a parameter with options snd-intel-sdw-acpi sdw_ctrl_addr=0x40000001 This solution leads to minimal tables with just what the developers or validation engineers need, and without overriding any of the existing firmware definitions. It's consistent with the recommendation to extend ACPI definitions and not redefine them with a risk of conflict.
