The recent support for the multiple PCM devices allowed user to use
multiple HDMI/DP outputs, but at the same time, the PCM stream
assignment has been changed, too. Due to that, the former PCM#0
(there was only one stream in the past) is likely assigned to a
different one (e.g. PCM#2), and it ends up with the regression when
user sticks with the fixed configuration using the device#0.
Although the multiple monitor support shouldn't matter when user
deploys the backend like PulseAudio that checks the jack detection
state, the behavior change isn't always acceptable for some users.
As a mitigation, this patch introduces an option to switch the
behavior back to the old-good-days: when the new option,
single_port=1, is passed, the driver creates only a single PCM device,
and it's assigned to the first connected one, like the earlier
versions did. The option is turned off as default still to support
the multiple monitors.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
