From: "John W. Linville" The current snd-nm256 driver can cause Dell Latitude CSx laptops to lock-up during module (un)load. I have isolated this to the writes to the control port register at offset 0x6cc which were not already protected by the existing reset_workaround. I tried grouping these writes with the existing reset_workaround clause, but that caused the driver to have (un)load problems on the Dell Latitude LS laptops. So, I have implemented a reset_workaround_2 clause (please feel free to suggest a better name!) to cover this situation and added a quirk entry for the CSx laptops. Signed-off-by: John W.
