Subject: [PATCH] gnu: linux-libre: Do not build the SND_PCSP driver.
Date: Fri, 16 May 2025 23:54:17 +0900

This snd-pcsp driver apparently attempts to load the pcspkr driver even when
it's already been loaded, causing the infamous kernel error message:

  Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

This change fixes it by simply not building the snd-pcsp driver, which usage
is to try to play audio via the low quality builtin speaker/beeper hardware.
It was automated via the command:

  git grep -l 'CONFIG_SND_PCSP=m' |
  xargs sed -i 's/CONFIG_SND_PCSP=m/# CONFIG_SND_PCSP is not set/'

I'm CC'ing the kernel team manually, as the configuration files were not
in its scope (now fixed in teams.scm).
