They are used in the next series, see '[RFC PATCH 04/12] ASoC: SOF: 
Intel: add SoundWire configuration interface'

+int hda_sdw_startup(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev)
+{
+	struct sof_intel_hda_dev *hdev;
+	int ret;
+
+	hdev = sdev->pdata->hw_pdata;
+
+	ret = sdw_intel_startup(hdev->sdw);
+	if (ret < 0)
+		return ret;
+	hda_sdw_int_enable(sdev, true);
+
+	return ret;
+}

These 4 functions sdw_intel_acpi_scan, sdw_intel_probe, 
sdw_intel_startup and sdw_intel_exit are the interface between the ASoC 
world and the Soundwire/Intel module.

I split the patches in two series to make the review and integration 
easier on maintainers. The first one is strictly contained within the 
driver/soundwire directory while will impact the soundwire and ASoC trees.
