ALSA: hda - Abort the probe without i915 binding for HSW/BDW
The previous patch tried to continue the probe if i915 binding fails. For for simplicity reason, we haven't implemented abort even for controller chips that are dedicated for HDMI/DP on HSW and BDW. However, Mengdong suggested that this can be dangerous; BIOS may disable gfx power well although the PCI entry for HD-audio is left, and this may result in the unexpected behavior, kernel errors, etc. For avoiding this situation, abort the probe at i915 binding failure only for HSW/BDW chips selectively. For other chips, it still continues.
