There is something wrong in the patch.

+ { 0x1002, 0x970f, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, AZX_DRIVER_ATIHDMI }, /* ATI
RS780 HDMI */

This line should be

+ { 0x1002, 0x970f, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, AZX_DRIVER_ATIHDMI }, /* ATI HDMI */

FYI.

The updated patch

Hi RedHat friends,

Comment 3 Russell Doty 2008-09-02 20:02:36 UTC
Requesting exception as this request was not received by the RHEL 4.8 request deadline.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2008-09-03 13:11:35 UTC
Updating PM score.

Comment 5 Russell Doty 2008-09-12 15:44:59 UTC
Raising priority.

This patch adds a list of currently shipping devices to the Alsa driver, allowing audio over HDMI.

Comment 7 Andiry 2009-01-15 02:09:39 UTC
Hi,

what's the current status of this issue? Will this patch be added into RHEL 4.8? Thanks.

Comment 8 Issue Tracker 2009-01-15 14:50:24 UTC
Hi Andiry,

The the request to add this to RHEL4.8 has been approved but the patch
still needs to be reviewed by our kernel team. I'll follow up with Joachim
to see where we're at.

Comment 13 Andiry 2009-01-20 02:45:34 UTC
Hi Evan,

It's confirmed that the patch has been merged into kernel-2.6.9-79.EL. But due to lack of HW device and display driver support, we are NOT able to test it so far. Anyway, if it cannot work properly in the future, we'll create another BZ. Thanks for your help.

Comment 16 Andiry 2009-02-10 04:57:02 UTC
Hi Evan,

After our internal test, unfortunately we found that the patch is merged falsely and need to be modified.

In RHEL 4.7 (kernel 2.6.9-78), the hda drivers are put under directory sound/pci/azx. we backported the patch based on this kernel version. 

But in redhat's update to RHEL 4.8 (kernel 2.6.9-80), the hda drivers are moved to directory sound/pci/hda, which is used in latest upstream kernel. But you maintain the directory azx and hda at the same time, which is wrong. You can see files under these two folders are almost the same. The patch should be applied to the directory sound/pci/hda to make it work.

Anyway, in order to resolve this issue, a update patch is required. Please check the attachment and apply it in the next kernek version.

Bhavna, this BZ is assigned to you. Can you circulate the updated patch for reviea and approval?

Comment 19 Bhavna Sarathy 2009-02-25 20:51:38 UTC
Russ, I have posted the patch.  I will change the status of the bug from
FAILS_QA to POST.

Comment 20 Shane Huang 2009-03-10 02:13:46 UTC
Is there any update to this patch, will it be included in the kernel for RHEL4.8 Beta?

Comment 21 Issue Tracker 2009-03-10 12:54:05 UTC
Shane,

This was posted for internal review and there was some discussion about
the patch (some as recently as yesterday). Since the beta bits have
already been built, this will not be included in the public beta but
probably snapshot 1 or 2. We will let you know when it is included in one
of our test kernels.
