Yes, it's far from great...

Are you saying that the subdevice would provide a read/write interface 
for the audio driver to look at display registers, and the i915 driver 
would only provide a notification interface (EDID and interrupts) to the 
audio driver?
If yes, would there be two component framework links, one between 
i915/audio driver and one between subdevice/audio driver.
I am way beyond my comfort zone, bear with me if this is silly.
Thanks.
