Hi Philipp Stanner,

Wouldn't it be better to just remove all that? Or at least document
what it is good for?

This code comes from commit 4d6dcf60b9 ("ALSA update   - documentation   - control API - added multi-elements to reduce memory usage   - improved preallocation of DMA buffers   - CS46xx driver - added support for secondary codec   - HDSP driver - big update     - firmware is loaded with hdsptool now   - pmac driver updates (fixed oops and beep stuff)   - VIA82xx driver updated   - ymfpci driver updated   - drivers updated to new PnP layer     - wavefront, ad1816a, cs423x, es18xx, interwave, opl3sa2, cmi8330") in the history tree [1] as part of a huge patch.

I couldn't find any useful information about this specific code within that commit.

Since I'm uncertain if we truly don't need it (this code is marked with "FIXME" above), I've kept this comment.

Furthermore, this driver has other sections of commented-out code as well, so a more comprehensive cleanup of this driver might be a better approach in the future.

If possible, I'd also be happy to contribute to that effort.

However, this commit isn't intended for that purpose.

Its sole aim is to clean up the comment that were missed by commit 8fa7292fee5c ("treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete_sync") and should have been updated.
