I'm willing to test patches.
Right now, the reason it fails to even load is that "codec_mask" is 0x0001.
And the skl_hda_dsp_generic.c code requires
// This will be 1 for 0x0001
codec_count = hweight_long(codec_mask);
if (codec_count == 1 && codec_mask & IDISP_CODEC_MASK) {
.. this is ok ..
} else if (codec_count == 2 && codec_mask & IDISP_CODEC_MASK) {
.. as is this ..
} else {
.. but here we return -EINVAL;
}
and that basically requires that IDISP_CODEC_MASK be part of
codec_mask. Which it isn't (IDISP_CODEC_MASK is 0x4).
Anyway, as long as the ASoC driver refuses to touch this, the default
pretty much *has* to be the legacy PCI driver.
