[alsa-devel] [PATCH]Support MCP89 and GT21x hdmi audio

[Wei Ni]

Hi, Takashi
1. About AZX_MAX_CODECS, on our new chipset, the codec_mask=0x31, it means
the codec connect on the slot0, slot4, slot5, and on some GT2xx, the codec
will connect to slot6 or slot7, although these chip at most have 4 codecs.
So I change the AZX_MAX_CODECS to 8 directly.
In hda_intel.c, the azx_command_addr(), azx_response_addr(), and
azx_codec_create() use the AZX_MAX_CODECS, if it set as 4, the driver will
not detect the codecs which connect to slot4~7.

2. yes, it's better to merge the hdmi common codes.

3. About ELD, yes, we need to change the Makefile and Kconfig as well.
Could you help me to change it.

Thanks
Wei.

Thanks.  A brief review comments below.

Changing this blindly to all codecs seems a bit dangerous.
We have bad experiences regarding the codec probing, and probing more
codec slots may result in unexpected behavior with the older chip.

Do you know which controller chip supports more than 4 slots?

Let's merge the stuff with patch_intelhdmi.c later...

So, now this module depends on the ELD helper?
Then we need to change Makefile and Kconfig as well.
Right now, the eld helper is built into intel-hdmi module.  Now this
is needed to be individual or built-in snd-hda-codec.


thanks,

Takashi
