Comment (by mocchi):

 > That is to say that the behaviour initially thought to be specific to
 particular devices has since been found to affect many more interfaces.

 Yes.

 > Should these patches therefore be reverted now regardless of progress on
 this ticket?

 The patches are just workarounds for some devices. But there are no plans
 to fix this bug. Then the patches have some advantages/disadvantages.

 > Is there any benefit to keeping them around?

 the Pros:
  * For some models, FFADO Mixer correctly switch source of clock.
  * The models are comparatively major and there are some FFADO users of
 the models.
  * Currently we have no plan to fix this bug.

 the Cons:
  * For the other models, this bug still exists.
  * The patches easily blind users from this bug.
