[regression] Pulseaudio fails to run 12.01 RC

[Tom Gall]

In some cases Pulseaudio fails to run.

When not running and starting from the command line, the issue is easy to recreate.

This was caused by the ~linaro4 package update, which updated the UCM files for both panda and imx53. I just reverted change, to make it work with the way it was before (only hdmi audio), so it doesn't block the release.

Please review the changes again, and let's work on getting this package updated during 12.02.
