that's right. In the board named Sharkbay there're two HDA
controllers, one is Lynxpoint HDA with ALC* codec and the other one is
Haswell HDA which only connected with HDMI audio. There's also drm
patches to enable HDMI audio on haswell, i will send them out after
some cleanup.

also please wait a moment before apply this patch, it's not the final
right version after some work on HDMI audio enabling. At least the
driver type is "SCH" not "PCH".  i will resend the patch in second
version.

Before that i will also verify whether Haswell could work well with
test Seth's patch.

thanks
