When the static minor numbers collide because of too many devices, fall back to the reserved minor numbers 2 and 3.
This for example will allow Intel HDMI audio driver to create three PCM devices (index 3, 7, 8; the minor number of the last index will otherwise collide with the first record device).
The other option is to force enable CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS.
