Hi,
I recently updated my kernel to 4.11, and am experiencing similar problems as Pascal. I have a Skylake processor and DP output hooked up with a DP to HDMI cable to an Onkyo SR-606 receiver.
I can't get audio to work at all through my receiver anymore. I tried both DTS and PCM audio files. I bisected it to the above mentioned commit 9152085defb6426ce8f9989ca27e4450daefbd89 (ALSA: hda - add DP MST audio support).
Do you know if the DP MST audio mode is used in your case?
I don't know what DP MST is or how to tell if I'm using it. However, I noticed that when it does work, `aplay -L` gives me
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1 HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1 HDMI Audio Output
and when it doesn't, I get
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, Generic Digital HDMI Audio Output
Well, I noticed in my dmesg log for 4.11:

So I added CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y as suggested (previously it was disabled based on the help text). That seemed to do the trick.
So the audio works well?
However, the `proc_dir_entry 'card0/eld#2.0' already registered` warning seems like it could be a bug despite this.
I guess the problem was this new MST feature means that now I have 5 HDMI outputs showing up, which is too many.
Yes, in dynamic mode, there are 5 HDMI/DP outputs for the compatibility with pulseaudio.

Sorry for the noise.
