the intent was to align with logic in
hda_codec.c:snd_hda_codec_build_pcms() which is the common function to
create the HDA driver PCM state. In that function:
» list_for_each_entry(cpcm, &codec->pcm_list_head, list) {
[...]
» » dev = get_empty_pcm_device(bus, cpcm->pcm_type);
» » if (dev < 0) {
» » » cpcm->device = SNDRV_PCM_INVALID_DEVICE;
» » » continue; /* no fatal error */
» » }
... i.e. if no PCM is attached, it is marked with
SNDRV_PCM_INVALID_DEVICE to cpcm->device.
The logic in patch_hdmi.c, which deduced the same information by
looking at another field (cpcm>->pcm), seems wrong and thus the fix.
Now, this used to be critical for this patch series as well, but you are
right that is no longer the case (I added passing of the PCM handle so
we can reuse all the kcontrol code in patch_hdmi.c and with that this
patch is no longer mandatory for SOF usage).
I retested the series without the patch and all seems fine, so let's
simplify the series by dropping this.
Br, Kai
