Because x1e is different. It has 4 speakers. sc8280xp does not have four
speakers.

That's defconfig change... But yeah, probably x1e sound card should be
tied to the board model. I prepared and sent the patches much earlier,
before qcom,qcs6490-rb3gen2-sndcard came to discussion.

For most of the boards I would just go with generic soc compatible. I
think I provided rationale qcs6490 discussion.
