+AC97 Quirk Option
+=================
+
+The ac97_quirk option is used to enable/override the workaround for
+specific devices on drivers for on-board AC'97 controllers like
+snd-intel8x0. Some hardware have swapped output pins between Master
+and Headphone, or Surround (thanks to confusion of AC'97
+specifications from version to version :-)
+
+The driver provides the auto-detection of known problematic devices,
+but some might be unknown or wrongly detected. In such a case, pass
+the proper value with this option.
+
+The following strings are accepted:
+ - default Don't override the default setting
+ - disable Disable the quirk
+ - hp_only Bind Master and Headphone controls as a single control
+ - swap_hp Swap headphone and master controls
+ - swap_surround Swap master and surround controls
+ - ad_sharing For AD1985, turn on OMS bit and use headphone
+ - alc_jack For ALC65x, turn on the jack sense mode
+ - inv_eapd Inverted EAPD implementation
+ - mute_led Bind EAPD bit for turning on/off mute LED
+
+For backward compatibility, the corresponding integer value -1, 0,
+... are accepted, too.
+
+For example, if "Master" volume control has no effect on your device
+but only "Headphone" does, pass ac97_quirk=hp_only module option.
