Selecting CONFIG_DRM selects CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET, which exports
video_firmware_drivers_only(). This can be used as a first
approximation on whether i915 will be available. It's safe to use as
this is only built when CONFIG_SND_HDA_I915 is selected by CONFIG_I915.
It's not completely fool proof, as you can boot with "nomodeset
i915.modeset=1" to make i915 load regardless, or use
"i915.force_probe=!*" to never load i915, but the common case of
booting with nomodeset to disable all GPU drivers this will work as
intended.
Because of this, we add an extra module parameter,
snd_hda_core.gpu_bind that can be used to signal users intent.
-1 follows nomodeset, 0 disables binding, 1 forces wait/-EPROBE_DEFER
on binding.
