ALSA: hda - allow multi-channel HDMI audio playback when ELD is not present

The YAMAHA AV-X1800 requires audio infoframe to include speaker-channel
mapping to play >2 channel HDMI audio. In theory that mapping should be
derived from its speaker configurations contained in its ELD. However we
currently cannot get ELD in console before the KMS functionalities are ready.
This is a more or less general issue at least in the near future. As a
workaround, we propose to allow playback of mult-channel audio when ELD
is not available.
