Add HDMI audio support for the sun4i-hdmi encoder, used on
the older Allwinner chips - A10, A20, A31.
Most of the code is based on the BSP implementation. In it
dditional formats are supported (S20_3LE and S24_LE), however
there where some problems with them and only S16_LE is left.

Changes for v3:
- Instead of platfrom_driver dynammicly register/unregister card
- Add Kconfig dependencies
- Restrore drvdata after card unregistering
Changes for v2:
- Create a new platform driver instead of using the HDMI encoder
- Expose a new kcontrol to the userspace holding the ELD data
- Wrap all macro arguments in parentheses

So using ASoC with all the components IMHO is just adding dead weight. The
audio interface for this particular hardware is just a FIFO that needs to
be written to by an external DMA engine, and a bunch of controls to setup
the parameters of the HDMI audio stream. There's no power sequencing to do,
and no actual individual components to control. There's no reason you couldn't
use just the ALSA DMAENGINE helpers to create a simple ALSA sound card.
(Maybe we could clean it up after it's merged? Would there be any issues
with backward compatibility?)
I think the only example of this besides ASoC is the PXA2xx sound library
and AC97 driver:
- sound/arm/pxa2xx-pcm-lib.c
- sound/arm/pxa2xx-ac97.c
I'd like to hear Maxime opinion on this. I get it why it's overkill to use
ASoC.
However it will take only couple of lines to make the changes for v4. On the
other
side with dropping the ASoC, the driver must be almost rewritten. It's not
such a big deal,
but I want to know that this is the right thing to do.
I don't really have an opinion on this, either way is fine for me, so
if it's simpler to go for ALSA, then let's do it :)
Then ALSA will be. Thanks :)
