    drm/i915/hdmi: Add 'force_audio' property
    
    Allow the user to override the detection of the sink's audio capabilities
    from EDID. Not all sinks support the required EDID level to specify
    whether they handle audio over the display connection, so allow the user
    to enable it manually.
