The ACPI scan capabilities is called from the intel-dspconfig as well as the SOF/HDaudio drivers. This creates dependencies and randconfig issues when HDaudio and SOF/SoundWire are not all configured as modules. To simplify Kconfig dependencies between HDAudio, SoundWire, SOF and intel-dspconfig, move the ACPI scan helpers to a dedicated module. This follows the same idea as NHLT helpers which are already handled as a dedicated module. The only functional change is that the kernel parameter to filter links is now handled by a different module, but that was only provided for developers needing work-arounds for early BIOS releases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
