Currently infoframe contents and channel mapping are only set when a
sink (monitor) is present.

However, this does not make much sense, since
1) We can make a very reasonable guess on CA after 18e391862c ("ALSA:
   hda - hdmi: Fallback to ALSA allocation when selecting CA") or by
   relying on a previously valid ELD (or we may be using a
   user-specified channel map).
2) Not setting infoframe contents and channel count simply means they
   are left at a possibly incorrect state - playback is still allowed
   to proceed (with missing or wrongly mapped channels).

Reasons for monitor_present being 0 include disconnected cable, video
driver issues, or codec not being spec-compliant. Note that in
actual disconnected-cable case it should not matter if these settings
are wrong as they will be re-set after jack detection, though.

Change the behavior to allow the infoframe contents and the channel
mapping to be set even without a sink/monitor, either based on the
previous valid ELD contents, if any, or based on sensible defaults
(standard channel layouts or provided custom map, sink type HDMI).

This simply removes the monitor_present check, which is probably more
trouble than it is worth, as it may trip obscure setups even though we
can tolerate !monitor_present and !eld in 99%+ of all cases by using
defaults, nowadays post-18e391862c anyway.
Downside is that missing monitor_present may not be noticed by the user
as ~everything continues to work.

Is this considered as a "fix" for 3.15 kernel?  If so, I find it a bit
distracting to queue the previous patch for stable while we're
removing the whole things here later.

If this is intended for testing for 3.16 kernel, I'm fine to take as
is.


thanks,

Takashi

Well, I intended it for 3.16, since I don't have anything concrete that 
it
would fix that the previous AFAICS safer patch did not (for now, at 
least...).

Sorry for not making it explicit.

Alright, I applied both, one to for-linus and another to for-next
branches.  Thanks.
