Well, the commit message doesn't claim "no functional change", does it?

Daniel Vetter explicitly wanted the ability to use the helper in
vga_switcheroo audio clients, and those shouldn't run the apple-gmux
test. I think it makes sense to enclose it in the above-quoted if-block
*now* even though it's not needed. Once someone adds a check for an
audio client, chances are they'll forget to add this if-block.

Fair enough, I've changed it to match PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY
and sent it out as v5 a few minutes ago.

Thanks,
