[opensuse-kernel] kabi change in patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify in 11.2
Hi Takashi, patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify changes the kabi signatures (compared to the 11.2 GA kernel) because it adds a member to struct hda_codec_ops. It changes lots of snd_hda_*() symbols and query_amp_caps(), I checked and none of the KMPs in the distro depends on these, not even alsa-driver-kmp from multimedia:audio:KMP. Thus, I think it should be safe to ignore this change, what do you think? Full list of the changed symbols is attached.

Oops, yes, this involves with the kABI change, indeed. Sorry, I overlooked.

Basically it's fine, I think. But, some modem vendor might release binary-only drivers based on GM kernel. So, it's not absolutely safe, unfortunately. OK, I'll disable the patch for now since it's not too critical but just noise reductions in some HP laptops. thanks!
