[PATCH] ALSA: pcm_drm_eld: rate-limit ELD parsing errors

[Sav]

From: Sav <62543096+dongioia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

snd_parse_eld() is the generic helper used by ASoC hdmi-codec, equivalent
to the hdac_hdmi parse path Mark Brown rate-limited in
lkml.kernel.org/lkml/2025/6/13/1380. The same spam shows up here for the
same reason.

When a HDMI sink is not connected (for example a board with two HDMI
outputs and a cable in only one of them), userspace audio servers like
PipeWire keep opening the empty card. snd_parse_eld() then logs

    HDMI: Unknown ELD version 0

on every retry. On rk3588 that easily produces 30+ messages per burst.
A malformed ELD (MNL out of range) hits the same code path. Neither is
worth a separate dev_info() per occurrence; switch both to
dev_info_ratelimited().
