Subject: [PATCHv2] hda: Fix 1-minute detection delay when i915 module is not available

Distribution installation images such as Debian include different sets
of modules which can be downloaded dynamically. Such images may notably
include the hda sound modules but not the i915 DRM module, even if the
latter was enabled at build time, as reported on
https://bugs.debian.org/931507

In such a case hdac_i915 would be linked in and try to load the i915
module, fail since it is not there, but still wait for a whole minute
before giving up binding with it.

This fixes such as case by only waiting for the binding if the module
was properly loaded (or module support is disabled, in which case i915
is already compiled-in anyway).

Applied with a slight coding style fix in my side. Also added Fixes
and Cc-to-stable tags.

At the next time, please check the patch before submission via
checkpatch.pl.


Thanks!
