ALSA: hdspm - Provide unique driver id based on card serial
Before, /proc/asound looked like this: 2 [Default ]: HDSPM - RME RayDAT_f1cd85 RME RayDAT S/N 0xf1cd85 at 0xf7300000, irq 18 In case of a second HDSPM card, its name would be Default_1. This is cumbersome, because the order of the cards isn't stable across reboots. To help userspace tools referring to the correct card, this commit provides a unique id for each card: 2 [HDSPMxf1cd85 ]: HDSPM - RME RayDAT_f1cd85 RME RayDAT S/N 0xf1cd85 at 0xf7300000, irq 18 In this example, userspace (configuration files) would then use hw:HDSPMxf1cd85 to choose the right card. The serial is masked to 24bits, so this string is always shorter than sixteen chars. Signed-off-by: Adrian Knoth <adi@drcomp.erfurt.thur.de> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
