What I meant is that this 'modelname' is a module parameter for legacy
and SOF driver, it's attached to the bus, but eventually used by the codec

hda_codec.c:    if (codec->bus->modelname) {
hda_codec.c:            codec->modelname =
kstrdup(codec->bus->modelname, GFP_KERNEL);

and even further down used to apply board-specific fixups.

"sklbus" doesn't seem to be related to codecs, boards or fixups, so not
sure what this parameter does in the end?
