[Nouveau] [PATCH] PCI: Expose hidden NVIDIA HDA controllers

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas at wunner.de>

The integrated HDA controller on Nvidia GPUs can be hidden with a bit in
the GPU's config space. Information about this scheme was provided by
NVIDIA on their forums.

Many laptops now ship with this device hidden, meaning that Linux users
of affected platforms (where the HDMI connector comes off the NVIDIA GPU)
cannot use HDMI audio functionality.

Avoid this issue by exposing the HDMI audio device on device enumeration
and resume.

The GPU and HDA controller are two functions of the same PCI device
(VGA class device on function 0 and audio device on function 1).
The multifunction flag in the GPU's Header Type register is cleared when
the HDA controller is hidden and set if it's exposed, so reread the flag
after exposing the HDA.

According to Ilia Mirkin, the HDA controller is only present from MCP89
onward, so do not touch config space on older GPUs.

This quirk is limited to NVIDIA PCI devices with the VGA Controller
device class. This is expected to correspond to product configurations
where the NVIDIA GPU has connectors attached. Other products where the
device class is 3D Controller are expected to correspond to configurations
where the NVIDIA GPU is dedicated (dGPU) and has no connectors.

It's sensible to avoid exposing the HDA controller on dGPU setups,
especially because we've seen cases where the PCI BARs are not set
up correctly by the platform in this case, causing Linux to log
errors if the device is visible. This assumption of device class
accurately corresponding to product configuration is true for 6 of 6
laptops recently checked at the Endless lab, and there are also signs of
agreement checking the data from 74 previously tested products, however
Ilia Mirkin comments that he's seen cases where it is not true. Anyway, it
looks like this quirk should fix audio support for the majority of
affected users.

This commit takes inspiration from an earlier patch by Daniel Drake.

Submitting Lukas's patch from over a year ago.

It got held up before on patch dependencies (which are now all merged)
and also the concern around the device class assumption not being true
in all cases. However, there hasn't been any progress towards finding a
better approach, and we don't have any logs to hand from the cases where
this isn't true, so I think we should go with this approach which will
work in the (vast?) majority of cases.
