Another option would be to move the completion into the common acomp
helper from i915-specific one.  That is,

- Add bind_complete field into struct drm_audio_component,
  initialize it at snd_hdac_acomp_init()

- Call complete_all(&acomp->bind_complete) at the end of
  hdac_component_master_bind()

- Remove / replace i915's own completion with the hdac's one.
  The i915_init_ops can be dropped.


thanks,
