We need to register the i915 audio component (in its current form or
just a stub version) even with disable_display=1, so that the audio
driver can continue its own probing (before timing out on the 10sec
wait for the audio component). Atm the

if (INTEL_INFO(dev_priv)->num_pipes == 0)
	return;

in i915_audio_component_init() prevents the registration.

AFAICS, azx_probe_continue() is the scheduled work and it will do
snd_card_register()->device_add() which will add the sysfs entries.

Adding Takashi to confirm.
