Thanks.

What will break? Or you mean the alsa-lib vs. kernel difference
until they sync up? I don't use pulse myself so I don't know really
what it wants.

There's no clear rule I think. But I suppose most manufacturers
follow some reference design, so there could be some layouts
that are more common than other. Having HDMI on port D on CHV
is a fairly common design I've seen. And I think all the
pre-production RVP boards had eDP on port C, so that could also
be how production boards tend to be wired up.

Cool. I just pushed the lot to drm-intel-next-queued. I'm
thinking going via dinq might avoid some conflicts later on
if we end up churning the code some more. And we do like to
churn ;)
