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.

Sounds ok, but would it makes sense to instead of a scalar single-port 
argument use a look-up table with more values, e.g. with an argument of 
(2,0,1), the port 0 would be PCM2, port 1 PCM0 and port 2 PCM1?

We can do that, too, but you don't know the mapping unless you really
plug, so it's a higher hurdle for users, I'm afraid.  Since most of
CHV/BYT devices are with a single output, this option is much easier
to deal with.


thanks,
