Thanks.  A brief review comments below.

Changing this blindly to all codecs seems a bit dangerous.
We have bad experiences regarding the codec probing, and probing more
codec slots may result in unexpected behavior with the older chip.

Do you know which controller chip supports more than 4 slots?

Let's merge the stuff with patch_intelhdmi.c later...

So, now this module depends on the ELD helper?
Then we need to change Makefile and Kconfig as well.
Right now, the eld helper is built into intel-hdmi module.  Now this
is needed to be individual or built-in snd-hda-codec.
