Hi, I am pretty sure it contains this integrated circuit: MAX98357BEWL It is a DSP. Why is a need for firmware?
It is a Intel Core i5-6360U

Hi, Where is your code located? Since I have got a macbook pro 2016 and I believe this feature is a prerequisite to get any sound working. I would love to test it with my cirrus logic 8409 HDA soundcard.
My last series was rebased on top of Mark's for-next tree. You would need Topology file, which I can send via email. But before I do that I want to confirm if you have the right things enabled.
Do you know if it is based on 6th Generation (SKL) or 7th Generation(KBL) of Intel core ? You will need to download the DSP Firmware binary file based on this. Also I am not sure if the DSP functionality is enabled on the MAC systems. If you compile snd-hda-core.ko in debug mode, it prints the capabilities. I can check that from the logs.
