It's a bug fix, and as such should go to all kernels, even with cc to 
stable. That said, it mainly concerns Skylake, so kernels that don't 
support Skylake would not need a backport.

I think this was raised to Intel by us. The use case is when the 
integrated GPU is disabled and a discrete GPU is used. In this case the 
i915 module fails to load. If then the HDMI and analog codec are both on 
the same controller, the entire controller fails instead of just the 
HDMI codec.

I'll see if I can get the patch tested ASAP.
