Yes, please.

The latest version uses module instead of built-in.

Selecting the driver as module is better as it will not impact current
users. For example: currently on a mx6qsabresd when we do 'aplay
file.wav' it will play through the wm8962 card.

If the HDMI audio driver is selected as built-in, then 'aplay
file.wav' will play through the HDMI audio port, which may confuse the
end user.

If we select the HDMI audio driver as module then we keep the original
behaviour.

Thanks
