ALSA: hda-intel - add special 'hwio' model to bypass initialization
Using the 'model=hwio' option, the driver bypasses any codec initialization and the reset procedure for codecs is also bypassed. This mode is usefull to enable direct access using hwdep interface (using hdaverb or hda-analyzer tools) and retain codec setup from BIOS. Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
