Ok. I shall add them as a separate patch though, as I have no way to verify
those boards (and some verification seem to be in order...)

Does it fail somewhere in the ASoC infrastructure? If so, how'd you find out
where exactly and what fails?

Asking, because when I was writing this code I ended up adding quite a bit of
tracing into the SoC core to figure that out, and I just hope there is a
better way to get at the diagnostics.

I shall add an "output" to HDMI0 and HDMI1.

Thanks!

Of course, I shall rebase on top of linux-media/master.
Should I wait with submission until you get data out of your boards?
