Ok, I've made it mandatory in the kerneldoc, updated patch follows below.

Hm, the idea of calling vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() twice
causes me pain in the stomach. It's surprising for drivers which
just don't need it at the moment (amdgpu and snd_hda_intel) and
it feels like overengineering and pampering driver developers
beyond reasonable measure. Also while the single existing check is
cheap, we might later on add checks that take more time and slow
things down.

Best regards,

Lukas

Subject: [PATCH] vga_switcheroo: Add helper for deferred probing

So far we've got one condition when DRM drivers need to defer probing
on a dual GPU system and it's coded separately into each of the relevant
drivers. As suggested by Daniel Vetter, deduplicate that code in the
drivers and move it to a new vga_switcheroo helper. This yields better
encapsulation of concepts and lets us add further checks in a central
place. (The existing check pertains to pre-retina MacBook Pros and an
additional check is expected to be needed for retinas.)

v2: This helper could eventually be used by audio clients as well,
    so rephrase kerneldoc to refer to "client" instead of "GPU"
    and move the single existing check in an if block specific
    to PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA devices. Move documentation on
    that check from kerneldoc to a comment. (Daniel Vetter)

v3: Mandate in kerneldoc that registration of client shall only
    happen after calling this helper. (Daniel Vetter)
