Ok, so the DSP FW has been loaded but the FW is failing to boot. The FW
is just copied with memcpy() from the host to the DSP memory. Some
things to check :-

1) Does the DSP have a valid IRQ number and handler. The IRQ is used to
signal FW boot has completed.

2) Can you verify the FW data copied with memcpy by reading it back from
DSP memory. The DSP device may be in D3 here...

3) can you send the output of sst_byt_dump_shim() when boot fails.
