Hmm. Part of why I put it outside of is_byt_cr() is so that the 
pmic-type based detection always runs, and my new check is only used as 
a fallback. That allows us to see in the log if the device was 
detected as BYT-CR through the pmic detection or if BYT-CR is just used 
as fallback. (Might be useful for troubleshooting in the future..)

The design of is_byt_cr() with multiple returns (and even more so the 
SOF refactored version at [1]) makes it a bit difficult for me to apply 
this fallback after the detection, at least if this is supposed to be a 
single method.

So we can either

(1) Skip pmic-based detection if
    platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 5) == NULL:

--- a/sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_acpi.c
+++ b/sound/soc/intel/atom/sst/sst_acpi.c
@@ -255,10 +255,18 @@ static int is_byt(void)
 	return status;
 }
 
-static int is_byt_cr(struct device *dev, bool *bytcr)
+static int is_byt_cr(struct platform_device *pdev, bool *bytcr)
 {
+	struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
 	int status = 0;
 
+	if (platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 5) == NULL) {
+		/* This message is even shown if the device would be detected as BYT-CR below */
+		dev_info(dev, "Falling back to Baytrail-CR platform\n");
+		*bytcr = true;
+		return status;
+	}
+
 	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IOSF_MBI)) {
 		u32 bios_status;

or
(2) Rename is_byt_cr() to something like is_bytcr_pmic() and wrap it 
    with a new method:

static int is_byt_cr(struct platform_device *pdev, bool *bytcr)
{
	int status = is_byt_cr_pmic(&pdev->dev, bytcr);
	if (!*bytcr && platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 5) == NULL) {
		*bytcr = true;
		dev_info(&pdev->dev, "Falling back to Baytrail-CR platform\n");
		return 0;
	}
	return status;
}

The end result is the same. The only difference is if we also log the 
result of the pmic-based detection.

Which one do you prefer? (Or any other suggestions?)
