Subject: [PATCH] sound/pci/hda: depends on instead of select for INPUT

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

Drivers should not 'select' a subsystem. Instead they should depend
on it. If the subsystem is disabled, the user probably did that for
a purpose and one driver shouldn't be changing that.

This also makes all sound/ drivers consistent w.r.t depending on INPUT
instead of selecting it.
