[alsa-devel] [PATCH v3 2/3] platform/x86: dell-*: Add interface for switchable graphics status query

On some Dell platforms, there's a BIOS option "Enable Switchable
Graphics". This information is useful if we want to do different things
based on this value, e.g. disable unused audio controller that comes
with the discrete graphics.

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.
