It was discussed, but rather shortly and only in the context of the HDA.
(Adding Vinod to Cc, who presented yet another approach to the problem last

What needs to happen is that everybody who is working on HDMI audio support
should get their heads together and come up with a common solution that
works for everybody, rather than having everybody trying to push their own
solution and put the maintainer in the spotlight of having to choose one
(Mark has been asking for this for the past half year or so).
