I don't know what to do with this configuration.
We added a quirk to force SOF to be used for ES8336 devices. It worked
for some, but not for others. Now we have quite a few ES8336-based
platforms that are broken with zero support from the vendor, with
obscure I2C/GPIO/clk issues.
Are we going to tag each one of them and say 'not supported, use HDMI only'?
That's pushing a bit the notion of quirk...It would generate an endless
stream of patches. The alternative is to do nothing and ask that those
platforms revert to HDMI audio only with a kernel parameter. That latter
alternative has my vote.
