drm/vc4: hdmi: Stop checking for enabled output in audio
The current HDMI driver, in vc4_hdmi_audio_can_stream() checks whether the display output is enabled. This has been there in one form or the other since the introduction of the audio support in the VC4 HDMI driver in commit bb7d7856 ("drm/vc4: Add HDMI audio support"), but no justification for this check is in the commit message, or in the discussions around the patches. One can only assume this was done to prevent a user from playing audio on the ALSA soundcard when the monitor doesn't support it. However, this is causing some issues. Indeed, Kodi, for example, was hitting some errors if it was streaming audio during a modeset. With the theory above, it does make sense, but the display and audio threads are typically completely different processes with no opportunity to synchronise which makes it hard to workaround. Removing that check also doesn't seem to cause any trouble, so let's just remove it.
