The split of Realtek HD-audio codec driver may cause confusions
especially when migrating from the previous kernel configurations
because it's hard to know which driver to be enabled.
Although we've already set default=y for those codec drivers, it may
still make people changing the stuff unnecessarily without knowing its
side effect.
This patch is for avoiding such pitfalls by marking the prompt of each
Realtek codec driver with CONFIG_EXPERT. For "normal" users (that is,
unless CONFIG_EXPERT is set), all Realtek HD-audio codecs are enabled
together with CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK; this is the very same
situation like the previous kernels, after all.
For users who really care about the minimalistic configuration, they
can turn each driver on/off individually after setting
CONFIG_EXPERT=y.
The patch also adds the missing help text to the top-level
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK together with the explanation of
individual choices, too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
