[patch 2.6.14-rc4] nm256: reset workaround for Latitude CSx

[patch 2.6.14-rc4] nm256: reset workaround for Latitude CSx

[John W. Linville]

The current snd-nm256 driver can cause Dell Latitude CSx laptops to
lock-up during module (un)load.  I have isolated this to the writes to
the control port register at offset 0x6cc which were not already
protected by the existing reset_workaround.

I tried grouping these writes with the existing reset_workaround
clause, but that caused the driver to have (un)load problems on the
Dell Latitude LS laptops.  So, I have implemented a reset_workaround_2
clause (please feel free to suggest a better name!) to cover this
situation and added a quirk entry for the CSx laptops.

Thanks!  I applied it to ALSA tree now.
