Now that the SST/Skylake driver supports per platform selectors, we
can add logic to automatically select the right driver.

If the Skylake driver is selected, and the DSP is enable, the legacy
HDaudio driver aborts the probe. This will result in a single driver
probing and remove the need for modprobe blacklists.

Follow-up patches will add a module parameter to bypass the logic if
this automatic detection fails, or if the Skylake driver is unable to
actually support the platform (firmware authentication, missing
topology file, hardware issue, etc).

I'm not sure whether we need the selection of this disablement for
each model.  Distros would choose these unlikely, and individual users
don't have to select multiple of them but only for their machine's
model.  So, in the end, the choice would be either yes or no.
Ah yes, maybe I wasn't clear. This wasn't intended to be selected by
the user, but selected when when the SND_SOC_INTEL_KBL or
SND_SOC_SOF_CNL options are set. See the conditions below.

The main idea what to only deal with the conflict resolution when we
indeed have a conflict. I also introduced this option on the
sound/pci/hda side so that SOF can use the same mechanisms, i.e. it's
the legacy driver doesn't need to know if the conflict happens with
the SST/Skylake or SOF driver.
OK, that makes sense.

But then better to rephrase the help texts there for avoiding
confusion.  Currently it sounds as if the kconfig always disables the
support of the given chipset.  But the actual behavior is to disable
the binding with the legacy driver *only if* the PCI device class is
declared for Intel DSP.
ok, will respin the help text.

I was wondering if my email client ate your answers, was is the only
change you wanted? In reply to the cover letter you mentioned "some
comments" but I only see this one that needs an update, and no
comments for the initial series of Skylake-specific patches.
Maybe you missed my comments for the second and later hunks of
patch#2?  It was about some dev_warn() and dev_err() usages, which I
suggested to degrade to dev_info().
Ah yes, sorry. I knew I was missing something.
Oh, BTW, did the fallback mechanism work properly with your patches on
the actual machines?

At the last time I tried on SKL, the fallback failed by some reason,
the driver core didn't try to load and bind two drivers.

I tested on two platforms, one WHL with DSP and one without (Skylake HP device), and the 3 values and didn't see any errors. lspci -vvv reports the two drivers registered but only the one I wanted as 'in use'.

I'll run more experiments on KBL and APL NUCs.
