Side note that the existing UCM config for RT715 does not do what I 
suggested, it seems we are using an incorrect configuration for 
CaptureSwitch and CaptureVolume:

CaptureSwitch "PGA5.0 5 Master Capture Switch"
	      CaptureVolume "PGA5.0 5 Master Capture Volume"		 
CaptureVolume "PGA5.0 5 Master Capture Volume"

That should be an RT715 control, not an SOF one. This was brought to our 
attention this morning. Probably a copy-paste from the DMIC case, likely 
needs to be changed for both RT715 and RT715-sdca cases.
