As I wrote in another post, a part of the problem is that SOF PCI and
ACPI drivers call snd_intel_dsp_driver_probe() unconditionally, even
if no Intel driver is bound.  So even if changing like the above (or
better to use IS_REACHABLE() macro) works around the issue, the call
pattern needs to be reconsidered.
