Because the SOF SDW design has no mic mute led control yet.
So I add one short term solution to make Dell privacy working for now 
Definitely , that is new solution I can add my patch on that to test as one user case .
We really need to take the short term solution work for some system which support new SOF soundwire hardware which have  dependence on the MIC mute feature
Meanwhile we can continue working on the new  "udev-rule + hwdb and/or UCM profiles" solution as to replace this one.
If we agree that, I will submit another V6 addressing new feedback.
