ALSA: x86: hdmi: Add single_port option for compatible behavior
The recent support for the multiple PCM devices allowed user to use multiple HDMI/DP outputs, but at the same time, the PCM stream assignment has been changed, too. Due to that, the former PCM#0 (there was only one stream in the past) is likely assigned to a different one (e.g. PCM#2), and it ends up with the regression when user sticks with the fixed configuration using the device#0. Although the multiple monitor support shouldn't matter when user deploys the backend like PulseAudio that checks the jack detection state, the behavior change isn't always acceptable for some users. As a mitigation, this patch introduces an option to switch the behavior back to the old-good-days: when the new option, single_port=1, is passed, the driver creates only a single PCM device, and it's assigned to the first connected one, like the earlier versions did. The option is turned off as default still to support the multiple monitors.
