[PATCH] ASoC: amd: acp: Adjust pdm dmic gain using module parameter

Adjust pdm dimc gain value using module param. In case of regressions for any users that the new pdm_gain value is too high and for additional debugging, introduce a module parameter that would let them configure it.
This parameter should be removed in the future: * If it's determined that the parameter is not needed, just hardcode the correct value as before * If users do end up using it to debug and report different values we should introduce a config knob that can have policy set by ucm.

This is not the 1990's, please do not add new module parameters, it will not work for modern systems and is a horrible thing to attempt to support over time :(
Please do this properly, with a per-device setting.

As the main purpose for this parameter is for being able to tune whether the property is correct, how about adding a debugfs file instead?
AFAICT it should just be a single register write, so debugfs to read current value and write the debugging value seems pretty straightforward.

Or you could just go direct to making it user tunable like a normal gain control?

Note, you can not break a user/kernel api like this once you introduce it, so be VERY careful (yet another reason for it to NOT be a module parameter...)
