If that can be used instead of this hdmi-notifier, then that's fine by me.

For CEC the notifier works very well. But CEC has some special requirements
that ASoC doesn't have:

- The cec-notifier can be used by both HDMI transmitters and receivers (so
has to work with two different subsystems).

- There may be multiple CEC devices connected to one HDMI transmitter: one
that is used when the system is in Standby, and a more capable CEC device
used when the system is powered up. This isn't supported yet, but it is likely
that we'll need this.

- HDMI and CEC devices are often completely independent and one or the other
(or both) can be unbound at any time. A real-world example is when an FPGA
containing the HDMI and/or CEC support is unloaded to save power when in standby.

- In some cases you want to register a CEC device via a notifier to an HDMI
connector based on userspace information. E.g. the popular USB Pulse-Eight CEC
device can be connected to any HDMI output by the user, there is no way to know
this in the kernel. An application that knows about the Pulse-Eight currently
has to parse the EDID and set the Physical Address of the Pulse-Eight accordingly.
I want to make it possible that the user can just tell the Pulse-Eight which HDMI
output is used and have it connect to that output using the notifier. I have a
proof-of-concept, but this needs Dariusz' series to make it work.
