My gut feeling is that component isn't the right framework for something
generic. It's really good to build something very specific (and i915.ko
binding to the i915-specific side of snd-hda is such a case I think). But
for a generic audio-over-hdmi framework I think we need to have proper
abstraction at that level, with a set of "give me the hdmi endpoint I
want" functions for the audio side, and corresponding register functions
for the gfx side. Similar to how you get your gpios, regulators and
whatever else.
