+Early Patching
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a
+firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the
+codec. This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in
+the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration.
+
+A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ [codec]
+ 0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2
+
+ [model]
+ auto
+
+ [pincfg]
+ 0x12 0x411111f0
+
+ [verb]
+ 0x20 0x500 0x03
+ 0x20 0x400 0xff
+
+ [hint]
+ hp_detect = yes
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The file needs to have a line `[codec]`. The next line should contain
+three numbers indicating the codec vendor-id (0x12345678 in the
+example), the codec subsystem-id (0xabcd1234) and the address (2) of
+the codec. The rest patch entries are applied to this specified codec
+until another codec entry is given.
+
+The `[model]` line allows to change the model name of the each codec.
+In the example above, it will be changed to model=auto.
+Note that this overrides the module option.
+
+After the `[pincfg]` line, the contents are parsed as the initial
+default pin-configurations just like `user_pin_configs` sysfs above.
+The values can be shown in user_pin_configs sysfs file, too.
+
+Similarly, the lines after `[verb]` are parsed as `init_verbs`
+sysfs entries, and the lines after `[hint]` are parsed as `hints`
+sysfs entries, respectively.
+
+The hd-audio driver reads the file via request_firmware(). Thus,
+a patch file has to be located on the appropriate firmware path,
+typically, /lib/firmware. For example, when you pass the option
+`patch=hda-init.fw`, the file /lib/firmware/hda-init-fw must be
+present.
+
+The patch module option is specific to each card instance, and you
+need to give one file name for each instance, separated by commas.
+For example, if you have two cards, one for an on-board analog and one
+for an HDMI video board, you may pass patch option like below:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ options snd-hda-intel patch=on-board-patch,hdmi-patch
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
