It's a common practice to let dGPU unbound and use PCI port PM to
disable its power through _PR3. When the dGPU comes with an HDA
function, the HDA won't be suspended if the dGPU is unbound, so the dGPU
power can't be disabled.
Commit 37a3a98ef601 ("ALSA: hda - Enable runtime PM only for
discrete GPU") only allows HDA to be runtime-suspended once GPU is
bound, to keep APU's HDA working.
However, HDA on dGPU isn't that useful if dGPU is unbound. So let relax
the runtime suspend requirement for dGPU's HDA function, to save lots of
power.
