hmm, that doesn't seem to be used. Here's a link to kconfig used in the 
failing CI run:
https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/linux-next/next-20211109/kconfig.txt

It's still a bit odd, especially given Scott just reported the other HDA 
related regression in 5.15 today. The two issues don't seem to be related 
though, although both are fixed by clearing drvdata (but in different 
places of hda_intel.c).

I'll try to run some more tests tomorrow. The fix should be good in any 
case, but it would be interesting to understand better what change made 
this more (?) likely to hit than before. This is not a new test and the 
problem happens on fairly old platforms, so something has changed.

Br, Kai
