A spiritual successor to haswell/baytrail removal series [1].
The avs-driver found in sound/soc/intel/avs is a direct replacement to the existing skylake-driver. It covers all features supported by it and more and aligns with the recommended flows and requirements based on Windows driver equivalent.
The skylake-driver related UAPI has been removed with "ASoC: Drop soc-topology ABI v4 support" [2].
For the official kernel tree the deprecation begun with v6.0. Most skylake-drivers users moved to avs- or SOF-driver when AudioDSP capabilities are available on the platform or to snd-hda-intel (sound/pci/hda) when such capabilities are not.
For the supported trees the deprecation begun with v5.4 with v5.15 being the first where the skylake-driver is disabled entirely.
All machine board drivers that consume this DSP driver have their replacements present within sound/soc/intel/avs/boards/ directory.
