ALSA: hda - Add probe_only option
Added probe_only module option to hd-audio driver. This option specifies whether the driver creates and initializes the codec-parser after probing. When this option is set, the driver skips the codec parsing and initialization but gives you proc and other accesses. It's useful to see the initial codec state for debugging. The default of this value is off, so the default behavior is as same as before. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
