Subject: ASoC: Taint the kernel if debugfs is used to write directly to CODECs
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d51a9cbb6c1275cc0f3840c36f8b7840a438c59;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ASoC: Taint the kernel if debugfs is used to write directly to CODECs

Since direct register writes may confuse the drivers and are supposed
to be used only in diagnostic situations discourage their use in
production by tainting the kernel when we do a write.
