ALSA: hda - Bind with i915 only when Intel graphics is present On Skylake and onwards, the HD-audio controller driver needs to bind with i915 for having the control of power well audio domain before actually probing the codec. This leads to the load of i915 driver from the audio driver side. But, there are systems that have no Intel graphics but Nvidia or AMD GPU, although they still use HD-audio bus for the onboard audio codecs. On these, loading the i915 driver is nothing but a useless memory and CPU consumption. A simple way to avoid it is just to look for the Intel graphics PCI entry beforehand, and try to bind with i915 only when such an entry is found. Currently, it assumes the PCI display class. If another class appears, this needs to be extended (although it's very unlikely). Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
