The bug is introduced by your patch, so better to fold into it.
Moreover...

Don't do this.

The initialization must be done earlier, in azx_create().

You shouldn't do async probe unless needed.
That is, this is required only for Haswell.

Also, if you delay the call of hda_i915_init(), you need to have a
flag to indicate whether this initialization has been done, and call
the counterpart in azx_free() only if the flag is set.  Otherwise, you
might call hda_i915_exit() & co even before calling hda_i915_init().

Another point to fix is to make sure to cancel the leftover work in
destructor.

Last not but least, I guess the call of pm_runtime_put_noidle() in
azx_probe() might be problematic.  In theory it allows the runtime
suspend before hda_i915_init() is done.

Maybe we should move pm_runtime_put_noidle() into
azx_probe_continue().  And put the counterpart to azx_free()
conditionally called with chip->running, or so.

But, this doesn't exclude the explicit suspend/resume -- you are
calling hda_display_power() and this might be also before the actual
initialization.  Again, this must be conditional, too.
