Intel machine drivers are used by parent platform drivers based on closed-source firmware (Atom/SST and catpt) and SOF-based ones. In some cases for ACPI-based platforms, the behavior of machine drivers needs to be modified depending on the parent type, typically for card names and power management. An initial solution based on passing a boolean flag as a platform device parameter was tested earlier. Since it looked overkill, this patch suggests instead a simple string comparison to identify an SOF parent device/driver.

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.
