The JD mode will be set by rt711/rt711_sdca_init first (which is JD2
as https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/soc/codecs/rt711.c#L1209.
Then it will be overridden by rt711_add_codec_device_props() while doing
rt711_parse_dt(), which is now always JD1 since the current
sof_sdw_quirk init value.
I'm afraid that JD2 is a more preferable mode rather than JD1. Then we
will have to
maintain a bigger DMI quirk table for more and more coming alderlake machines.

Given the rt711 codec has initialized the jd_src to JD2, The
sof_sdw_quirk should only
override it unless necessary? But now it's forced to override. Or can
we have a more
generic solution for it?
