From: Keyon Jie <yang.jie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Use the 32bit reserved member of the struct sof_ipc_comp as the extended data length, this will help to minimize the ABI change for adding new extended data to the struct sof_ipc_comp, usually only minor ABI version bump needed for every update with this new solution.
