ALSA: hda/hdmi: Preserve the previous PCM device upon re-enablement
When a DRM driver turns on or off the screen with the audio capability, it notifies the ELD to HD-audio HDMI codec driver via component ops. HDMI codec driver, in turn, attaches or detaches the PCM stream for the given port on the fly. The problem is that, since the recent code change, the HDMI driver always treats the PCM stream assignment dynamically; this ended up the confusion of the PCM device appearance. e.g. when a screen goes once off and on again, it may appear on a different PCM device before the screen-off. Although the application should treat such a change, it doesn't seem working gracefully with the current pipewire (maybe PulseAudio, too). As a workaround, this patch changes the HDMI codec driver behavior slightly to be more consistent. Now it remembers the previous PCM slot for the given port and try to assign to it. That is, if a port is re-enabled, the driver tries to use the same PCM slot that was assigned to that port previously. If it conflicts, a new slot is searched and used like before, instead. Note that multiple monitor connections are the only typical case where the PCM slot preservation is effective. As long as only a single monitor is connected, the behavior isn't changed, and the first PCM slot is still assigned always.
