Ok, so firmware appears to works on other than CR Baytrails too. Is it available in linux-firmware since if it's not when changing the platform drivers there will be obvious regressions to users?
Can we take a step back here: what are the firmwares and hardware platforms we're talking about here?
Only Baytrail and its variants. Current upstreamed drivers use "intel/fw_sst_0f28.bin-48kHz_i2s_master" but that FW doesn't have as much features like compressed audio and is not compatible with the one Vinod's team is upstreaming.
Goal is to switch to new implementation since it covers more platforms but do switchover as seamlessly as possible for Baytrail. Problem at the moment for Baytrail that both current and new drivers probe using the same ACPIIDs and FW for new drivers is not yet in linux-firmware.
Shouldn't that be okay, as user wouldn't select the new driver. Default is n :)
Only when driver is stable and verfied by users should we enable this and then start removing older driver
