There should normally be multiple HDMI devices (one for each HDMI/DP
connector more or less). Eg. my hsw shows:
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Looking at the hda_codec.c we see:
static int audio_idx[HDA_PCM_NTYPES][5] = {
...
[HDA_PCM_TYPE_HDMI] = { 3, 7, 8, 9, -1 },
So you always get those device numbers, but I don't see an immediate
relationship between those and the pin numbers (which do have some
kind of relationship with the HDMI/DP port). I guess if they always
get registered in order of the pin numbers then those would translate
to 3 == port B, 7 == port C, etc. And after that the problem is figuring
out which port is related to which connector, for which we have nothing
at the moment.
I suppose the ideal solution might be to have a sysfs symlink (or
something) to connect the two together.
But then there's MST where I think the pcm device correlates with the
crtc rather than the connector. Maybe. I can't remember anymore, and
I'm not sure it even works (I've recently heard people saying it
doesn't).
