mainlining shenanigans

The indexes of the devices are described within the topology file, it is a possibility that the topology encodes invalid indexes when DYNAMIC_MINORS is not enabled in kernel: #define SNDRV_MINOR_COMPRESS 2 /* 2 - 3 */ #define SNDRV_MINOR_HWDEP 4 /* 4 - 7 */ #define SNDRV_MINOR_RAWMIDI 8 /* 8 - 15 */ #define SNDRV_MINOR_PCM_PLAYBACK 16 /* 16 - 23 */ #define SNDRV_MINOR_PCM_CAPTURE 24 /* 24 - 31 */ If the topology assigns an index greater than 7 for PLAYBACK/CAPTURE PCM then there will be minor number collision. As an example: card0 creates a capture PCM with index 10 -> minor = 34 card1 creates compress device with index 0 -> minor = 34 Card1 will fail to instantiate because the minor for the compress stream is already taken. To avoid seemingly mysterious issues with card creation, select the DYNAMIC_MINORS when the topology is enabled. The other option would be to try to do out of bound index checks in case of DYNAMIC_MINOR is not enabled and do not even attempt to create the device with failing the topology load.

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.
