The Skylake driver currently has a set of problems supporting load/unload modules. We need to make the HDaudio codec support optional to help narrow down the issues. Support for HDaudio codecs also leads to a Kconfig issue. We want the hdac_hda codec to be compilable independently of Skylake (e.g. with ALL_CODECS) but when Skylake is selected as built-in the hdac_hda codec needs to use the same option due a a code dependency Solve both problems by adding a user-selectable boolean Kconfig, select HDAC_HDA as needed and make the HDaudio codec support in the Skylake driver optional. Tests on a Chell Chromebook device without HDaudio show no regression for speaker and HDMI playback. This is submitted as an RFC to allow for comments and more validation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
