The upstream kernel builds for distributions such as Ubuntu which now includes binary packages for v4.11 mainline kernel release candidates are promoted as a way of testing upstream kernels to to confirm that upstream has fixed a specific issue (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds).
Unfortunately the long awaited patch for providing HDMI audio support for Bay Trail and Cherry Trail devices does not include this support through a module built by default.
By defining the default of the two associated CONFIG settings (SND_X86 and HDMI_LPE_AUDIO) as a module, upstream kernel builds would automatically provide the much desired HDMI audio support by default.
This patch uses a Kconfig 'default' statement to include the driver as default.
