Chihhao Chen,

when I said echo test I meant just test the device and observe if
there are noises related to incorrect clock setting.

I then realized a bit too late that probably in your programming
culture "echo test" refers to the whole technique you used to hook the
kernel and debug the issue to produce the fix.

If you call that technique "echo test" I'm sorry, I didn't know it was
called that way.

I just meant to briefly test to hear if there is noise even when the
clock parameters are correctly hardcoded.

My intent with that patch is to try to prove there's a firmware bug in
action just like Takashi Iwai suggested.

My apologies,
Geraldo Nascimento
