drm/vc4: Add HDMI audio support
The HDMI encoder IP embeds all needed blocks to output audio, with a
custom DAI called MAI moving audio between the two parts of the HDMI
core. This driver now exposes a sound card to let users stream audio
to their display.
Using the hdmi-codec driver has been considered here, but MAI meant
having to significantly rework hdmi-codec, and it would have left
little shared code with the I2S mode anyway.
The encoder requires that the audio be SPDIF-formatted frames only,
which alsalib will format-convert for us.
This patch is the combined work of Eric Anholt (initial register setup
with a separate dmaengine driver and using simple-audio-card) and
Boris Brezillon (moving it all into HDMI, massive debug to get it
actually working), and which Eric has the permission to release.
v2: Drop "-audio" from sound card name, since that's already implied
(suggestion by Boris)
