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.
Through including by default of the two associated CONFIG settings (SND_X86 and HDMI_LPE_AUDIO), 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.
Changes in version 2: CONFIG_SND_X86 now a bool and changed default m to default y

... this is wrong. Each driver config itself should be left unspecified.
It's distributor's job to choose the right config here.
