Hmmm ...

I tried testing this again, loading the module with each of the 
dell-m4-* model parameters, in turn, but no joy.

*Some*thing's broken here.  But I'm not enough of a kernel hacker to be 
able to figure out what or how to fix it.  There's both a kernel bug and 
an ALSA bug about this; I guess I'll follow up there.
