It sounds like a good idea, at least if it can be done without a
larger code rework.
For the new SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM_ACPI symbol, you could simply
make that 'default ACPI' to make at least 'oldconfig' and 'olddefconfig' work.

See https://pastebin.com/GKtkgW99 for my randconfig file for testing the
configuration that I hit. With the current state of linux-next, there are two
configurations that are broken AFAICT

- SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM_PCI=y && SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM=m
  (because of the Makefile thing I mentioned)

- SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM_PCI=y && SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM=n
  (because of missing symbols)
