The I2S part has been dropped.  The DesignWare HDMI block is configurable
when it is synthesized - it can contain either the AHB audio interface or
an I2S interface.  Freescale chose to synthesize it with the AHB audio
interface, and this is what my patches are geared up to provide.

On Rockchip devices, they chose to synthesize it with the I2S audio
block, and so they need a different driver for it.  Yakir Yang has been
working on that, but I've not seen anything recently.  After merging
his I2S patch, I found some problems and decided with Yakir that the
best thing to do was to drop it.

So, the result is we support HDMI audio on iMX6.

The changes were merged into mainline during the 4.4 merge window, so
Linux 4.4 will support iMX6 HDMI audio.
