They define a firmware file format. Not sure if I would call that userspace
ABI.

I don't mind adding the structures to
sound/soc/intel/skylake/skl-tplg-interface.h,
but it seems a bit out of scope to tie this with moving the file to
include/uapi/sound.
I think that should be a separate discussion.
