The patch can't be applied even to 4.1 as is because of the code
structure change.  So, Cc to stable doesn't work, in anyway.

OK, the bug seems needed for 4.1 and earlier.  But Libin's patch is
only for 4.2.  And even worse, backporting this isn't
straightforward due to the lack of need_i915_power field.  Hmm.

I think we can make it easier by just allowing to continue the probe.
A totally untested patch for 4.1 is below.


thanks,

I can't find the bug number, maybe David can help.

BTW: Not only SKL but also other platforms that controller is not in 
Powerwell while the controller connects with HDMI codec will meet
such issue, like BSW.

Thanks for your help on this. So this patch will be merged or we will
wait for 4.2 to merge the patch?

As part of the wider discussion, I think we could continue instead of 
failing also on Haswell and Broadwell. This is to some degree 
hypothetical, but if the i915 module does not load for some reason, then 
the i915 module would not turn the power well off either, so it remains 
on the entire time (and then audio could potentially work).

Without graphics HDMI/DP never works, so practically it's useless.
The problem can be reproduced easily by passing nomodeset boot
option.

OTOH, it'd simplify the change, and this was indeed my initial patch
before posting.  Then I thought this might lead to a regression; a
non-working HDMI/DP sound card appears while it wasn't before.  So I
added the check of HSW/BDW.

Meanwhile, nomodeset or failing i915 is a more or less special
situation, so we might not consider about this behavior change so
much, and take rather for the code simplicity.

Comments?

Let's see whether it works as expected.  
If this works for 4.1, we can merge back to 4.2 together with
additional NULL checks in hdac_i915.c.

Yes, HDMI/DP depends on gfx.

BDW/HSW has 2 controllers: one is in power well, the other is not.
The one in powerwell connects HDMI/DP codec.
The one in PCH connects analog codec.

SKL/BSW/BYT has one controller and it connects both HDMI/DP codec
and analog codec.

So we get the conclusion:
1. whatever power well is turned on, BDW/HSW PCH HDA controller
will work.
2. If power well is turned off, BDW/HSW HDA controller in gfx will not
work.
3. if power well is turned off, SKL/BSW/BYT controller will work (analog
audio will use it), but HDMI/DP audio will not work.

After sleeping, I changed my mind: now I vote for simplicity.

I'm going to post a patch series, one for 4.1 and another for 4.2 in
addition.
