Makes sense. Is there an existing Kconfig that could be used to
decide whether the drivers use SND_INTEL_DSP_CONFIG or not?
Could it be part of the device specific driver_data?

According to sof_pci_ids[], all PCI IDs are Intel specific, but I can't
tell which ones need the DSP config.

If the callers are fixed to address this, then I would expect the
IS_REACHABLE() or IS_ENABLED() to no longer be needed
either.
