I have thought about this a bit more. And I think the more proper
interface is to pass in a generic struct device* for codec.
This way, the user of hdmi-codec driver on the DRM side is not limited
to the relation chain of
audio platform device -> codec platform device, which is just a
special case in dw-hdmi driver.
As long as DRM side can get hdmi-codec device pointer through
drv_data, it can use this callback.
Hope this makes the interface more generic.
