[hsflinux] intel-hda STAC9200 support crippled

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the compilation issue with the kernel patched with the suspend2 patch 
suggest that you are trying to use version 7.43.00.01 of the driver. We 
have released 7.47.00.00 of the driver, this version should fix the 
compilation issue with the suspend2 patch. Additionally, we have 
upgraded the code closely related to ALSA in this new release so it is 
quite possible that it will fix the issue with CVS ALSA as well.

The latest version of the HSF modem driver can be downloaded at:
