ALSA: hda/hdmi: Fix breakage at probing nvhdmi-mcp driver
After restructuring and splitting the HDMI codec driver code, each
HDMI codec driver contains the own build_controls and build_pcms ops.
A copy-n-paste error put the wrong entries for nvhdmi-mcp driver; both
build_controls and build_pcms are swapped. Unfortunately both
callbacks have the very same form, and the compiler didn't complain
it, either. This resulted in a NULL dereference because the PCM
instance hasn't been initialized at calling the build_controls
callback.
Fix it by passing the proper entries.
