For devices designed for Windows, the SSP information should be listed in the NHLT, and when present can be used to set quirks automatically in the machine driver. The NHLT information exposes BT and analog audio connections separately, for now we are only interested in the analog audio parts. The use of dev_info() for the SSP mask is intentional so that we can immediately flag devices with an ES8336 codec. Since NHLT is not used for recent Chromebooks these messages should be rare.

NHLT "toggling" found in this function looks weird. Why not cache NHLT pointer i.e.: get it once and put when driver is no longer required? Initializing and freeing NHLT (AKA get/put ACPI table) every time a request is made does not look like an optimal solution.
