The legacy Baytrail driver is still used by Baytrail Chromebooks, and 
that choice is not something we control. If Google transition to SOF for 
Baytrail, then we can remove this driver altogether.
The Atom Baytrail driver is enabled by default (default ACPI). Only when 
we have support for Baytrail-CR can we deprecate Baytrail/Atom.
Does this answer to your question?
