@ Rex,

If we apply the [1], it will make users easily reproduce the [2], that
is why kernel maintainer reverted the [1].

I thought I backport the [2] to the kernel first, then backport [1] to
the kernel, I tried to backport the [2] to the osp1 kernel myself, but
it didn't work at all, so I asked for help to Intel, they estimated a
couple of days then tell me it is not easy and they will not help
backport the [2] to 5.0 and 5.3, and without [1], the dmic function will
not be affected.

About the linux-firmware, already sru them to Eoan and Bionic with this
bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
firmware/+bug/1859387, the firmware under Eoan and Bionic can support
the kernel both with [1] and without [1].

Because this bug will not affect the dmic function, just lower the
priority, when I finish the more urgent bug, I will spend more time
investigating backport [2], then resend the patch [1].

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In our ubuntu kernel, the sof driver will load the sof-cnl.ri (firmware)
  on all platforms, but mainline kernel already supported the multi
  firmwares on differnt platforms, and OEM project needs us to
  support the mutli-firmware names in the ubuntu kernel

  [Fix]
  cherry-pick 3 upstream patches, then on cnl platforms, it will
  load sof-cnl.ri, on cml platfomrs, it will load sof-cml.ri, on cfl
  platforms, it will load sof-cfl.ri

  
  [Test Case]
  Prepare the firmware from https://github.com/thesofproject/linux-firmware
  master branch, then boot the kernel with these patches.

  [Regression Risk]
  Low, just let different platforms load differnt firmware, and these
  patches are in the upstream kernel.
