I have to rewind my statement. Arnd is correct, the config cannot be the 
same as hdac_hdmi since there is a code dependency I completely missed.

So yes indeed we have to add a select HDAC_HDA statement under the 
SKYLAKE config - i just don't know of any other means to say "don't 
build HDAC_HDA as a module when SKYLAKE is buit-in"

That said, we can add a condition that will only select HDAC_HDA if 
required by the machine drivers selected. The patch below doesn't seem 
to have circular dependencies and compiles fine with Arnd's config. I 
thought of it while multitasking with "Home IT" work and haven't done 
any testing beyond compilation.  Arnd, can you give it a spin to see if 
this solves the issues?
