Some motherboards have multiple HDA codecs connected to the serial bus. The current code may create multiple mixer controls with the almost identical identification. The current code use id.device field from the control element structure to store the codec address to avoid such clashes for multiple codecs. Unfortunately, the user space do not handle this correctly. For mixer controls, only name and index are used for the identifiers. This patch fixes this problem to compose the index using the codec address as an offset in case, when the control already exists. It is really unlikely that one codec will create 10 similar controls. This patch adds new kernel module parameter 'ctl_dev_id' to allow select the old behaviour, too. The CONFIG_SND_HDA_CTL_DEV_ID Kconfig option sets the default value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
