ALSA: hda/hdmi: Add Intel silent stream support
External HDMI receivers have analog circuitry that needs to be powered-on when exiting standby, and a mechanism to detect PCM v. IEC61937 data. These two steps take time and up to 2-3 seconds of audio may be muted when starting playback. Intel hardware (Haswell and beyond) can keep the link active with a 'silent stream', so that the receiver does not go through those two steps when valid audio is transmitted. This mechanism relies on an setting the channel_id as 0xf, sending info packet and preventing the codec from going to D3, which will increase the platform static power consumption. The info packet assumes a basic 2ch stereo, and the silent stream is enabled when connecting a monitor. In case of format changes the detection of PCM v. IEC61937 needs to be re-run. In this case there is no way to avoid the 2-3s mute. The silent stream is enabled with a Kconfig option, as well as a kernel parameter should there be a need to override the build time default. This approach is used based on the power_save capability as an example, but in the future, it may be used with a kcontrol, depending on UCM support for HDaudio legacy.
