    ALSA: hda - Enable audio component for old Intel PCH devices · 6603249d
    Takashi Iwai authored
    As i915 graphics driver provides the notification via audio component,
    not only the currently implemented HSW+ and VLV+ platforms but also
    all other PCH-based platforms (e.g. Cougar Point, Panther  Point, etc)
    can use this infrastructure.  It'll improve the reliability and the
    power consumption significantly, especially once when we implement the
    ELD notification via component.  As a preliminary, this patch enables
    the usage of audio component for all PCH platforms.
    
    The HDA controller just needs to set AZX_DCAPS_I915_POWERWELL flag
    appropriately.  The name of the flag is a bit confusing, but this
    actually works even on the chips without the powerwell but accesses
    only the other component ops.
    
    In the HDMI/DP codec driver side, we just need to register/unregister
    the notifier for such chips.  This can be identified by checking the
    audio_component field in the assigned hdac_bus.
    
    One caveat is that PCH for Haswell and Broadwell must not be bound
    with i915 audio component, as there are dedicated HD-audio HDMI
    controllers on these platforms.  Ditto for Poulsbo and Oaktrail as
    they use gma500 graphics, not i915.
