Now I get it, and I guess I was thrown off by the title of your commit
message and previous comments that the DSP_FW_FAIL state is used for the
HDaudio mode.
It's not that the RCA mode is enabled by this patch. It was present
already in the existing driver code. This patch allows this RCA mode to
become a fallback if the DSP firmware load fails, but the DSP_FW_FAIL is
still used on RCA bin load problems.
So you may want to clarify the commit title and message, but from a code
perspective things looks ok:
