This sounds like an 'easy enough' fix, but I don't have a burning desire
to start adding quirks of this nature. To be clear, the entire support
of the ES8336 is an absolute nightmare that I've stopped looking at
completely given the lack of support of vendor/OEMs.

In this case, the ACPI table is completely wrong, we should try to
'mark' the ES8336 device as 'not present' or detect the presence of HDaudio.

Andy, what do you think and what would be your recommendation?
