Title: change kconfig of the soundwire bus driver from y to m Status in HWE Next: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-oem-osp1 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Bionic: New Status in linux-oem-osp1 source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Focal: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] We just got a Dell laptop which has soundwire codec on it, and let us change the soundwire bus from y to m, then the kernel image size will be reduced and it is easy for us to use dkms to replace this driver. And Intel released a sound wire audio driver to us, but it is based on the 5.4-rc7, we couldn't backport 150+ patches to our oem-osp1 kernel, and we plan to use dkms on this machine. To use dkms, we need to change this driver to a kernel module. [Fix] Change the kernel config from y to m. [Test Case] We tested this patch on osp1 kernel, it worked very well with soundwire audio dkms. [Regression Risk] Low, just change a driver from y to m.
