Takashi-san, I agree that the names with hyphens (snd-hda-intel)
are present in help sections of many options in sound/pci/hda/Kconfig.
But snd-hda-intel is confusing from end user point of view.
After reading notes.rst, end user is going to do someting like this:

    lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel

and this command gives false result.

Also this modprobe.conf file is not going to work but it's an existing
example in Documentation/sound/hd-audio/notes.rst:
