Bug 95358

FWIW I found an old build of 4.7-dal that did have sound - though it was early, 23rd March and I don't have any builds in between.

I see if I git reset --hard 4.5.0-rc7-g629edea (the version of that build)
I can get a new working build and seemingly git history from that time.

If I had more builds I guess I could narrow it down like that - but I don't and I don't know how get the historic head versions from git - is that possible?

Maybe I completely misunderstood your question but did you try "git checkout <COMMIT>"? As far as I can see the main challenge might be to get these commit ids as the DAL branches are rebased regularly, right? "git reflog" might be an option but it might be a bit tedious to search through the big amount of commits.

Yea, I mainly test the non dal branch so it is the commit hashes I am missing.

I would need to be able to checkout based on date really I think.

Thanks, I've never used that before, it seems to be just a history of what I did, which doesn't really help as I wasn't on the dal branch mostly, but is useful to know for the future as its now worth me just switching around various branches even if I know I don't have time to build and test every one.

Saying that it looks like I did switch to it but didn't build, so I do have something else to try.

Possible progress with the git aspect - while reading about reflog I saw a comment which lead me to doing - 

git log --walk-reflogs origin/drm-next-4.7-wip-dal

which apparently gets me a sha for every time I did git fetch origin and dal got updated.

Looks promising, but I haven't had time to test it out yet.

After more testing with older versions of drm-next-4.7-wip-dal

it seems that this stopped working after the rebase on top of 4.6.

I can't be sure of course, but I can't so far find a working on anything after a version that was based on 4.5.0-rc7, the next I can test is on top of 4.6.0-rc2
and even if I set its history to look much like the working it doesn't work.

I guess DAL work is all happening in the staging branches now and with current amd-staging-4.7 HDMI sound is working OK for me.
