ALSA: hda - Force polling mode on CFL for fixing codec communication
We've observed too long probe time with Coffee Lake (CFL) machines, and the likely cause is some communication problem between the HD-audio controller and the codec chips. While the controller expects an IRQ wakeup for each codec response, it seems sometimes missing, and it takes one second for the controller driver to time out and read the response in the polling mode. Although we aren't sure about the real culprit yet, in this patch, we put a workaround by forcing the polling mode as default for CFL machines; the polling mode itself isn't too heavy, and much better than other workarounds initially suggested (e.g. disabling power-save), at least.
