No.  The drivers are independent. vga_switcheroo provides the intermediary for
alerting the drivers when the user has switched the mux for muxed laptops.  For
muxless laptops, the dGPU driver uses vga_switcheroo and ATPX to power down the
dGPU when it's not in use.  The IGP driver is not involved in that.
