If the platform set the dyn_pcm_assign to true, it will call
hdmi_find_pcm_slot() to find a pcm slot when hdmi/dp monitor is
connected and need to create a pcm.

So far only intel_hsw_common_init() and patch_nvhdmi() set the
dyn_pcm_assign to true, here we let tgl platforms assign the pcm slot
dynamically first, if the driver runs for a period of time and there
is no regression reported, we could set no_fixed_assgin to true in
the intel_hsw_common_init(), and then set it to true in the
patch_nvhdmi().

This change comes from the discussion between Takashi and
Kai Vehmanen. Please refer to:

Did the test with this patch on 2 TGL machines, and with both legacy
HDA driver and sof driver, plug 1 monitor into the machine, plug 2
monitors into the machine and plug 2 monitors into a dp-mst hub, they
all worked as expcted, the first 2 pcm slots was assigned to monitors,
and playback worked well.

Hi,

thanks! I tested this on a few machines and seems good, no functional 
issues.

hmm, I wonder if we could come up with a better name. "dyn_pcm_assign"
and "no_fixed_assign" seem a bit at odds.

How about:
   bool dyn_pcm_assign; 
+  bool dyn_pcm_no_legacy; 

Then it's more clear this is still the same dynamic PCM assign policy, but 
we just drop the legacy exception.

Takashi, do you think we can go with this without any method (a module 
option) to opt-out?

I'm ok to go with this, given all users should be using kcontrol status to 
select the PCM for HDMI/DP output. Any other method is not guaranteed 
anyways to work in all cases as the assignment is dynamic in the end.. 

Br, Kai

Yes, let's try without a module option at first.  I bet no one would
be annoyed by this change.

Right.  Let's hope that all modern systems already deal with the
situation better than ago.


thanks,

Takashi
