CS35L41 has a DSP which is able to run firmware, as well as a tuning file. Different systems may want to use different firmwares and tuning files, and some firmwares/tunings may not be compatible with other systems. To allow a system to select the correct fimware/tuning, we can read an _SUB from the ACPI. This _SUB can then be used to uniquely identify the system in the firmware/tuning file name.
Add a helper function which reads the _SUB, so this can be used by other parts in the future. Add support inside the CS35L41 ASoC driver to read this _SUB, and save it appropriately.
Changes since v2: - Fix error in function prototype
Changes since v1: - Add length validation for SSID String - Rename API - Allocate memory inside API - Use ACPI_HANDLE macro instead of ACPI_COMPANION - Improve error handling
