In dai startup, driver was checking for ELD and would fail if no monitor is connected. This causes userland like PA, CRAS to be unhappy as they scan the device list at bootup.

So move the ELD check to hw_params and fail, if valid ELD is not found.

Should this not be sent as a fix?

Same reason here as well. In 4.5 since this series is missing we do not enumerate the codecs and machine does not have these dailinks.

Btw SKL driver does the enumeration on HDA links and creates codecs, that patch along with machine will be last one after this series.

Thanks
