(I sent it again because the previous email contains HTML subpart.
Sorry for the inconvenience.)

Thanks for the review! If I'm not mistaken, the microphone is attached
to external codec(rt5514) instead of PCH on Kabylake platform. So
there should be a TDM between DMICs and PCH. We can see in the
kabylake_ssp0_hw_params function, there are some operations about
setting tdm slot_width to 16 bits. Therefore, I think it only supports
S16_LE format for DMICs. Is it correct?
