I think the overall issue with this patch is working out how to support
both the iMX6 version of this IP, and the Rockchip version of the IP.

These two hardware IPs seem to be configured at synthesis time with
entirely different audio architectures, which change which registers
are available, and sometimes which bits in the registers are present,
which makes it more difficult to come up with a unified audio driver.

Also, I think that it would be a good idea to start documenting which
registers are available in which versions of the IP in dw_hdmi.h,
otherwise I can see that it's going to be very easy for someone to
assume that some register or bit which is available in one IP is
present on all.

The CONFIGx_ID register values for the iMX6 SoC are:

	CONFIG0_ID 0x8f
	CONFIG1_ID 0x01
	CONFIG2_ID 0xf2
	CONFIG3_ID 0x02

CONFIG0_ID appears to contain bits which indicate whether the IP
supports I2S and SPDIF mode.  Presumably your IP has bit 4 set for I2S,
and maybe bit 5 for SPDIF?

CONFIG1_ID bit 0 indicates whether the AHB interface is present, which
is presumably zero for your IP?

CONFIG3_ID bit 0 indicates whether "generic parallel audio, GPAUD" is
present.

Could you provide (in addition to the values printed in the message I
requested in another reply) the values of the CONFIGx_ID registers
please, and whether any of the bits in there are documented as being
applicable to audio.

Thanks.
