Maybe I should send these 2 patches separately, this 2nd one is actually 
fix for a long existed issue and it is exposed to me when writing the 
1st commit:
1. the check of "if (tplg->pass != SOC_TPLG_PASS_xxx" was good and it 
acted as the correct filter of the pass, but
2. the increment "tplg->pos += le32_to_cpu(hdr->size) + 
le32_to_cpu(hdr->payload_size);" was actually wrong when it the pass is 
unmatched in #1, it should be "tplg->pos += 
le32_to_cpu(hdr->payload_size);" as the "hdr->size" was already 
calculated in the upper layer in soc_tplg_load_header():
"tplg->pos = tplg->hdr_pos + sizeof(struct snd_soc_tplg_hdr);".
3. the exited mistake described in #2 didn't triggered any real problems 
as the "tplg->pos" will be reset to new value in soc_tplg_load_header() 
when the next header comes, so increasing the "tplg->pos" here at the 
end of the current header check actually make no sense, we can just 
remove them.

The code changes here might make you nervous but the logic here is not 
that complicated, if you rule out the issue I mentioned above in #2 and 
#3, the remained changes here is only removing the checks "if 
(tplg->pass != SOC_TPLG_PASS_xxx" as they are already covered by the 1st 
commit.

I have tested these changes with 3 typical SOF topology files (nocodec, 
tgl i2s + dsm, hda-generic) and it works all fine there and the correct 
header information are logged with the changes, agree we should test 
more extensively and widely, so tests on SST driver are very welcomed.

So in short, I did these changes together since I am already here, but 
if you and Mark preferred, I can split out the fix for the "tplg->pos" 
increment and send it ahead.

Thanks,
~Keyon
