This assertion seems to imply that chip->dsp_code_to_load is a pointer.
It's actually an integer handle on the actual firmware, and 0 has no
special meaning.

The assertion prevents initialisation of a Darla20 card, but would also
affect other models. It seems it was introduced in commit dd7b254d.

This patch adds rearranges parts of the initialization code and adds
suspend and resume callbacks.

This patch adds suspend and resume callbacks.
It also rearranges parts of the initialization code so it can be
used in both the first initialization (when the module is loaded we
also have to load default settings) and the resume callback (where
we have to restore the previous settings).

Changes the way the firmware is passed through functions.

When CONFIG_PM is enabled the firmware cannot be released because the
driver will need it again to resume the card. 
With this patch the firmware is passed as an index of the struct
firmware card_fw[] in place of a pointer. That same index is then used
to locate the firmware in the firmware cache.

Kill snd_assert() in sound/pci/*, either removed or replaced with

This patch adds a barrier() to prevent the compiler from
moving the read outside of the loop. It also fixes a comment.
