So above was never tested on mainline.

I fixed the driver in 2251db28edcc70b7ee8a8c6bcbaecf752b3ea5ec, so back
in 2024, thus sound on qcm6490-idp COULD NOT WORK when that DTS change
was posted...

...unless it was developed on downstream.

And a BASIC probe test would discover that - whether device probes
and/or appears in sysfs soundwire bus.

Since basic test would discover it, then I really believe this was done
on some downstream-style clone.

I think this is wider problem with @qualcomm patches.
