The simple fix is easy: disable all other codecs and the
BYT_MAX98090 option will be enabled. BYT_MAX98090 relies on the 'old' 
non-dpcm driver which is used only for Chromebooks with Baytrail, which 
never enable any other codecs, so there was never any issue before.
If there is a need for concurrency, then a new machine driver based on 
the dpcm Atom driver needs to be created. I don't have a Baytrail 
chromebook so don't want to commit on the change.
