Unfortunately, this has caused a regression. The SST and SOF drivers cannot both be enabled for the same Intel platform in the kernel configuration, according to Intel. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204237#c15

To clarify, the statement above applies to the Baytrail and Broadwell platforms (only).


These lines that were just added in debian/config/amd64/config need to be removed:

   CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BAYTRAIL_SUPPORT=y
   CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BROADWELL_SUPPORT=y

This will be enforced via Kconfig beginning in Linux 5.5-rc1:

The SOF drivers/firmware for the Broadwell and Baytrail platforms have issues, and Intel does not consider them ready for use in distributions yet:

Thank you.
