Currently snd-hda-intel driver aborts the probing of Intel HD-audio controller with i915 power well management when binding with i915 driver via hda_i915_init() fails. This is no big problem for Haswell and Broadwell where the HD-audio controllers are dedicated to HDMI/DP, thus i915 link is mandatory. However, Skylake, Baytrail and Braswell have only one controller and both HDMI/DP and analog codecs share the same bus. Thus, even if HDMI/DP isn't usable, we should keep the controller working for other codecs.
For fixing this, this patch simply allows continuing the probing even if hda_i915_init() call fails. This may leave stale sound components for HDMI/DP devices that are unbound with graphics. We could abort the probing selectively, but from the code simplicity POV, it's better to continue in all cases.
