Yes, it's something what I suggested. It's own modprobe call which modifies the module parameters.

You can probably add something like this to the sound-card.rules:

SUBSYSTEMS=="pci",ATTR{device/driver/module}=="snd_soc_sof_sdw",
  ATTR{device/driver/module/../snd_sof_pci/parameters/tplg_path}=="intel/sof-tplg/pdm1",
  DO_SOMETHING_HERE

DO_SOMETHING_HERE may be ATTR{longname}="My Long Name" for example when my change is accepted.
