I didn't check for KBL, it may be require for KBL also.

Will add more description about the feature in the commit.

Main intention of giving one command line option was to keep IPC disable 
for debugging only.
I can remove the command-line option, But for debugging we need some 
option to control the enable/disable.
What would you suggest, which I can use instead of command-line option? 
OR we can totally ignore that?

agree, keeping this as part of intel_init_pm seems more relevant,
But we have faced some issue because of enabling it early in intel_init_pm,
If BIOS is not enabling the IPC & we only are going to enable first, 
then BIOS was not taking care of programming transition WM
& since we were enabling it early before sanitizing WMs (during 
pm_init), this was causing flickers/underrun.
Didn't tried it recently, but as transition WM are disabled now we 
should not face that issue for now*.
