The patches generally look good, but I'm thinking whether it's cleaner
to create a new ops items. Maybe it can be specific to HDMI codec,
e.g.
struct hda_hdmi_ops {
int (*get_chan_slot)(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t pin, int slot);
int (*set_chan_slot)(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t pin, int setup);
int (*set_ca)(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t pin, int ca);
....
}
It's not sexy to have a thing like is_atihdmi() in the common header
and see it in everywhere.
thanks,
Takashi
