The problem is that SOF tries to do reverse-select the legacy HD-audio 
codec, but it doesn't work in general.  Or it must be done very
carefully.

If something gets selected, all dependencies have to be
reverse-selected, too.  But the legacy HDA is built up in a way of
standard top-down selection (i.e. SND_HDA_CODEC_* depends on SND_HDA,
not other way round).
