[alsa-devel] Out-of-tree HDMI audio driver for BayTrail-T

[David Henningsson]

I don't usually deal with out-of-tree drivers, but when Canonical 
enabled the Intel Compute Stick [1] (which is using a BayTrail-T 
processor), we were using an out-of-tree driver to enable HDMI audio.

The driver has earlier been made public by Intel [2], and I've put my 
modifications to it here [3].

Unfortunately, it looks like the effort and hardware knowledge required 
to make this driver upstreamable is beyond what I can currently manage.

Also, I cannot answer for whether or not other parties (such as Intel) 
plan to upstream the driver.
