Currently the compressed streams in DSP firmwares are identified essentially by looking at a fixed location inside the firmware. This is fragile and also limits things to a single compressed stream. Here a new form of firmware parameter is added, the HOST_BUFFER which identifies a compressed stream from meta-data in the firmware file. This is more robust and allows for the possiblity of using multiple streams per core in the future. Currently the implementation is still limited to a single stream and will use the first HOST_BUFFER parameter encountered. If there aren't any HOST_BUFFER parameters it will fall back to the legacy way of finding the host buffer.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
