The kernel has 2 drivers for the Low Power Engine audio-block on Bay- and Cherry-Trail SoCs. The old SST driver and the new SOF driver. If both drivers are enabled then the kernel will default to using the old SST driver, unless told otherwise through the snd_intel_dspcfg.dsp_driver module-parameter. Add a boolean SND_INTEL_BYT_PREFER_SOF Kconfig option, which when set to Y will make the kernel default to the new SOF driver instead. The option defaults to n, preserving the current behavior. Making this configurable will help distributions such as Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Changes/SofDefaultForIntelLpe to test using SOF on BYT/CHT during the transition phase where we have both drivers (eventually the old driver and this option will be removed). Note that this drops the acpi_config_table[] containing 2 entries per ACPI hardware-id if both drivers are enabled. snd_intel_acpi_dsp_find_config() will always return the first hit, so we only need a single entry with the flags value set depending on the Kconfig settings.

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.
