ALSA: hda - allow multi-channel HDMI audio playback when ELD is not present
The YAMAHA AV-X1800 requires audio infoframe to include speaker-channel mapping to play >2 channel HDMI audio. In theory that mapping should be derived from its speaker configurations contained in its ELD. However we currently cannot get ELD in console before the KMS functionalities are ready. This is a more or less general issue at least in the near future. As a workaround, we propose to allow playback of mult-channel audio when ELD is not available.
