This submission adds generic card confs for the Amlogic AIU and AXG audio cards. AIU is used with GXBB/GXL/GXM boards and supports HDMI and hinted S/PDIF output. The AXG conf is used with G12A/G12B/SM1 boards and supports HDMI only output. Hinting S/PDIF support does not work with AXG due to the card always presenting three outputs (with internal routing controlling what they are) so the hint always returns true.

This is an AIU device with HDMI and S/PDIF hardware:

The confs have been in use with the Kodi distro LibreELEC for around two years and other distros supporting Amlogic boards on upstream kernels (Armbian, Manjaro, etc.) have borrowed them from our repo too. The prime reason for submitting them is to allow everyone to drop some patches. Although the confs are known-working it would be great if someone with better alsa knowlege than myself could vet them for correctness.

ping @jeromebrunet for awareness

The generic AIU conf is used with Amlogic GXBB/GXL/GXM boards and
supports HDMI and hinted S/PDIF output. The generic AXG conf is
used with G12A/G12B/SM1 boards and supports HDMI.
