  nvif_mask(&device->object, 0x088488, (1 << 25), (1 << 25));

Wow, that *is* inscrutable magic.  I gave up trying to convince myself
that this turns into pci_write_config_word() eventually.

0x88000 is way too big for an offset into PCI config space (it's only
4096 bytes per device at most), so I don't know what sort of alias it
could be.  It doesn't look like a MMCONFIG address (which the driver
shouldn't be using directly anyway).

If you make an early quirk for the GPU device, we'll run the quirk
while enumerating it.  If it can enable the audio device, and if the
audio device is at a higher device number, the PCI core should try to
enumerate it later.  But there might be wrinkles if setting the bit
turns a single-function device into a multi-function one, because the
core might have already decided it didn't need to scan for more
functions.  DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_EARLY() is the place to start.
