The commit [dcda58061: ALSA: hda - Add workaround for conflicting
IEC958 controls] introduced a workaround for cards that have both
SPDIF and HDMI devices for giving device=1 to SPDIF control elements.
It turned out, however, that this workaround doesn't work well -
- The workaround checks only conflicts in a single codec, but SPDIF
and HDMI are provided by multiple codecs in many cases, and
- ALSA mixer abstraction doesn't care about the device number in ctl
elements, thus you'll get errors from amixer such as
% amixer scontrols -c 0
ALSA lib simple_none.c:1551:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'IEC958
Playback Switch',0,1,0) appears twice or more
amixer: Mixer hw:0 load error: Invalid argument
This patch fixes the previous broken workaround. Instead of changing
the device number of SPDIF ctl elements, shift the element indices of
such controls up to 16. Also, the conflict check is performed over
all codecs found on the bus.
HDMI devices will be put to dev=0,index=0 as before. Only the
conflicting SPDIF device is moved to a different place. The new place
of SPDIF device is supposed by the updated alsa-lib HDA-Intel.conf,
respectively.
