[PATCH v3 4/4] drm/bridge: it6505: Don't reject audio hw_params without an encoder

it6505_audio_setup_hw_params() returns -ENODEV when the bridge is not
attached to a DRM encoder. Now that it6505 registers an hdmi-audio-codec,
this callback runs whenever a stream is configured on the I2S DAI it is
wired to, including when that DAI is shared with another codec. On
mt8186-corsola the speaker amplifier (rt1019) and it6505 share I2S3, so
when the it6505 DP output has no display attached (bridge.encoder is
NULL) the -ENODEV propagates up through dpcm_be_dai_hw_params() and tears
down the whole backend, breaking speaker playback.

The check is harmful in its own right: the rest of the function only
caches the stream parameters (channel count, rate, word length) in
software, none of which needs an encoder. Returning early leaves
it6505->audio.channel_count at 0, which would then index
audio_info_ca[-1] in it6505_enable_audio_infoframe() should a display be
hotplugged while a stream is running, and makes such a hotplug play with
stale parameters.

Drop the encoder check so the parameters are always cached; the actual
audio output is already gated by it6505->powered.

v3: no changes

v2:
 * drop the encoder check entirely instead of returning 0 early, so
   the stream parameters are always cached even while no display is
   attached; rewrite the commit message to explain why the check is
   harmful
