It's a common practice to let dGPU unbound and use PCI platform power
management to disable its power through _OFF method of power resource,
which is listed by _PR3.
When the dGPU comes with an HDA function, the HDA won't be suspended if
the dGPU is unbound, so the power resource can't be turned off.
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's
relax the runtime suspend requirement for dGPU's HDA function, to save
lots of power.
