My FTP packages also include all unsigned firmware files compiled with gcc. 
They are unusable for the most Intel platforms where only signed firmware 
files can be loaded to DSP (security).

Those files are probably good for the development platforms, but they do not 
have much value for the general Linux distros at the moment. I assume that 
developers can compile own versions.

BTW: Fixed topology files for v1.5 (generic sof hda):

Use this on top of the sof-bin repo / v1.5 branch if you like. It seems that 
the fix in sof-bin is delayed.
