The intel GFX drivers (i915/xe) interface with the ME device for some of
their features (e.g. PXP, HDCP) via the component interface. Given that
the ME device can be hidden by BIOS/Coreboot, the GFX drivers need a
way to check if the device is available before attempting to bind the
component, otherwise they'll go ahead and initialize features that will
never work.
The simplest way to check if the device is available is to check the
available devices against the PCI ID list of the mei_me driver. To avoid
duplication, this patch adds an exported function that the GFX driver
can call to obtain the list. Locking around the checks, if required,
is left to the caller.
