Title:
  update firmware for sound sof driver to fix the hang issue on several
  Dell machines

Bug description:
  We expect this firmware update could be released with 19.10

  [Impact]
  We have a couple of Dell machines, after installing the system, it
  will hang randomly, and this issue was reported by factory, they met
  this issue a couple of times. Then we tried to reproduce this issue,
  finally reproduced it.

  [Fix]
  Intel debugged this issue as well, and they provided 4 kernel patches
  and a new firmware, we tested them, they really can fix the issue.
  And the patches were sent the SRU already, now it is time to update
  firmware.

  [Test Case]
  Install the system repeatedly and there is no hang issue anymore.

  [Regression Risk]
  Low, Intel told us there is no ABI change for the firmware, so
  it is safe to run this firmware both with the old driver (not applied
  those 4 patches) and the new driver (applied those 4 patches).
