[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/6] HDMI: Implement pcm-per-pin

This patchset implements a PCM-per-pin-widget model for all HDMI codecs that
use the generic codec support. For most existing codecs, there is 1 pin and
1 converter per codec, so this change should have no functional impact. For
some codecs (e.g. GeForce 520, Intel Ibex Peak) there are fewer converters
than pins, and the default routing is for all pins to be mux'd from a single
codec, so this patch allows:

a) Multiple PCMs to be used at once (1 per converter). Previously, only 1
   PCM was created due to the default muxing.

b) A direct mapping from PCM device to pin, and hence to ELD data and
   connected monitor. This should enable simpler/better decisions re: which
   audio formats are supported for that PCM, since only 1 ELD has to be
   considered (previously, I think the ELDs other than from the first pin
   were simply ignored)

The very first change in the series is actually somewhat unrelated, but I
noticed it while working on this, and I believe it's a correct change.
