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().
