No. please drop this patchset. We need to first fix the HDMI issues due 
to broken programming sequences that existed before the dynamic 
selection was added. we can also simplify it if we change the probe 
order to avoid making any changes to the legacy and add more 
intelligence so e.g. only use the Skylake driver in "auto" mode if 
digital mics controlled by the DSP are detected in the NHLT tables.
