Sorry, I've been out for most of the day. There's no DT patches required.
The dw_hdmi bridge driver creates its own platform device for the audio,
which should then bind to the dw_hdmi-ahb-audio driver using normal Linux
methods.
I don't know what's wrong with your setup, for me, it just works:
[ 1.358829] dwhdmi-imx 120000.hdmi: Detected HDMI controller 0x13:0xa:0xa0:0xc1
[ 1.377173] imx-drm display-subsystem: bound 120000.hdmi (ops dw_hdmi_imx_ops)
...
[ 2.851343] ALSA device list:
[ 2.857364] #0: DW-HDMI rev 0x0a, irq 21
as it always has done for me. There's nothing special about it.
There's nothing special about it - it's a standard ALSA PCM audio driver,
it doesn't have any requirements over and above having ALSA and ALSA's PCM
support enabled. If you didn't have those enabled, but somehow had the
dw_hdmi-ahb-audio set as built-in, you'd get a link time error, so it's
not a configuration issue.
It works for me on all iMX6 platforms (solo, dual-lite, dual and quad).
As it's a straight ALSA device, it doesn't need any codec or any of the
ASoC infrastructure either.
I guess the thing to start looking at is whether the device and driver
appear in /sys/bus/platform/{devices,drivers}/. You should have:
/sys/bus/platform/devices/dw-hdmi-ahb-audio.0.auto
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/dw-hdmi-ahb-audio
and obviously the latter should contain the symlink to the device. If
that is present, then the driver has bound, and it should appear in
/proc/asound/cards.
