I thought that you are developing a new system where you can affect the
firmware/BIOS source.

Obviously this is not the case so you have close to zero possibility to
get the vendor to fix the broken firmware :-/

This is wrong as, like I said the Intel Baytrail SPI host controller
only supports one native chipselect.

Only change the chipselect above. \\SB.SPI1 is the host controller and
that's probably correct.

It is worth a try using the custom DSDT. If it brings you working audio
then we need to figure out how to work this around in the kernel.

BTW, does the audio work in Windows?

I somehow suspect that it just ignores the chipselect in the SPI driver
which might explain why it works (if it works, that is).
