quirk_nvidia_hda() forcefully enables HDA controller on all NVIDIA GPUs,
because some buggy BIOSes leave it disabled. However, some dual-GPU
laptops do not have a functional HDA controller in DGPU, and BIOS
disables it on purpose. After quirk_nvidia_hda() reenables this dummy
HDA controller, attempting to probe it fails at azx_first_init(), which
is too late to cancel the probe, as it happens in azx_probe_continue().

The sna_hda_intel driver calls azx_free() and stops the chip, however,
it stays probed, and from the runtime PM point of view, the device
remains active (it was set as active by the PCI subsystem on probe). It
prevents vga_switcheroo from turning off the DGPU, because
pci_create_device_link() syncs power management for video and audio
devices.

Affected devices should be added to driver_denylist to prevent them from
probing early. This patch helps identify such devices by printing a
warning, and also forces the device to the suspended state to allow
vga_switcheroo turn off DGPU.
