Thanks for the info, I see your intension now.

In previous discussion, Jani suggested to use a completion to indicate
the probe done, I can't figure out another way :)

In my own debug patch, I had put a 
#ifndef CONFIG_DRM_I915
static inline int  wait_i915_probe_done() {return -ENODEV;}
#else
....
#endif

Is this fine?

btw, for hdac_i915.c, if it is already bound with i915, can we make
it an separte module to dedpend on i915?

Thanks,
Feng
