Merge series from Richard Fitzgerald <rf@opensource.cirrus.com>: Change the firmware filename format on SoundWire systems to directly tie it to the physical amp it applies to. This is mainly to decouple it from the ALSA prefix strings to avoid complications when the SoundWire machine driver starts creating dailinks based on SDCA Disco info instead of hardcoded match tables. It also avoids errors from having to rename firmware files from a hardware-address to a ALSA-prefix naming for Linux publication. There are already published firmware files for the L56 B0 silicon so that has a fallback scheme for backward compatibility which has been separated into its own patch on top of the main change. We'd like to get this into 6.16 so that the L63 support starts "clean" with this new naming and we don't have to support one kernel version with L63 using the old naming. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get these patches through internal review and testing before the merge window opened.
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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
