My reasoning was quite simply that this file was 14 years old so that
probably nobody is using that stuff anymore. Are people actually using
CHRP (whatever that is)? Anyhow, cs4232 is mentioned in some other files
too:
    $ git grep -l -n cs4232 Documentation/ 
    Documentation/powerpc/sound.txt
    Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
    Documentation/sound/alsa/alsa-parameters.txt
    Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction
    Documentation/sound/oss/Tropez+

Could these few lines be dumped in one of these (except
powerpc/sound.txt, of course)?
