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 controller still exposes its sysfs, so userspace still opens the control file and stream. If userspace tries to output sound through the stream, it hangs when runtime suspend kicks in: [ 12.796265] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: Disabling via vga_switcheroo [ 12.796367] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: Cannot lock devices!
Since the discrete audio controller isn't useful when SG enabled, we should just disable the device.

Adding Lukas to Cc.
I thought we manage this better now with runtime PM by Lukas's recent patchset?
thanks,

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.
