Not sure why you skirt around calling the thing by its name. It's
called LPE isn't it?

Yes, using/extending the already existing audio component stuff was
my first though when I did a preliminary scan of the patches. I didn't
look too closely at what's needed hardware wise, so can't get into
details yet.

Some other peculiar things that caught my eye:
- adds some HDMI live status stuff etc. which we already have
- missing pipe C for CHV?
- no clue what that procfs/rpm patch was about

Anyway, I'll try to take a better look at it next week,
