The 60 seconds timeout is a thing "better than complete disablement",
so it's not ideal, either.  Maybe we can add something like the
following:

  that user can work around it if needed

A module option to snd_hdac_i915_init would probably be the least of all evils here.

Yes, probably it's the easiest option and sufficient.
