[PATCH v4 3/3] ALSA: hda: Disabled unused audio controller for Dell platforms with Switchable Graphics

[Kai-Heng Feng]

Some Dell platforms (Preicsion 7510/7710/7520/7720) have a BIOS option
"Switchable Graphics" (SG).

When SG is enabled, we have:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04)
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation CM238 HD Audio Controller (rev 31)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.  [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Polaris10]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 580]

The Intel Audio outputs all the sound, including HDMI audio. The audio
controller comes with AMD graphics doesn't get used.

When SG is disabled, we have:
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation CM238 HD Audio Controller (rev 31)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.  [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Polaris10]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 580]

Now it's a typical discrete-only system. HDMI audio comes from AMD audio
controller, others from Intel audio controller.

When SG is enabled, the unused AMD audio contoller still exposes its
sysfs, so userspace still opens the control file and stream. If
userspace tries to output sound through the stream, it hangs the system.

Since the discrete audio controller isn't useful when SG is enabled, we
should just disable the device.

v4: Change the commit message to clarify there's no more runtime pm
    warning.
    Also skip the check for thunderbolt attached devices.

v3: Simplify dell_switchable_gfx_is_enabled() by returning bool instead
    of error code.
    Use DMI_DEV_TYPE_OEM_STRING to match Dell System.

v2: Mario suggested to squash the HDA part into the same series.
