Thanks.  So this is the case where the audio driver is built-in while
the input driver is module.

I guess the cleanest workaround is just to select INPUT from
SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK in sound/pci/hda/Kconfig.  Practically seen,
CONFIG_INPUT is always set, so there must be no real drawback with it.
(And we can reduce a few lines as a bonus.)

David, care to prepare a patch?

thanks,

Takashi
