Hi Takashi,

I've submitted v2 and v3 patches, both can work one my SKL. Please review.

V2: add INTEL_GET_VENDOR_VERB as a vendor verb as you suggested.
   I verified this on a SKL desktop, on which BIOS does not enable DP1.2 mode by default and so we observed the HDMI/DP audio failure.

V3: set GET bit when adding a vendor verb to the codec regmap
   It also works on my SKL. It's more generic than v2, because I observed other HD-A codecs (Conexant, si3054, sigmatel) also add their own vendor SET verbs and may have the same problem.
   However, I have no chance to verify these codecs since I cannot find platforms with them.

Thanks
Mengdong
