So I've been thinking about this a bit more.

Since sound/soc/intel/common/soc-intel-quirks.h already
has stubs for non X86 too, I think it is best to just
move that to include/linux/platform_data/x86/soc.h .

Since the drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c thing is
a bugfix of sorts, it is probably best to open-code
the check there and then replace it with the helper
from include/linux/platform_data/x86/soc.h later.

I'll start prepping a patch series doing things
this way now.

Hans
