Heh, English plural has no distinguish between 2 and 3 :)

Yes, the legacy driver works fine.

I've already tried it but this doesn't seem enough. The similar
addition for 0xa348 is needed in skl-messages.c for clk setup.
(BTW, reloading the module after this error triggered the leftover
sysfs entries; you can try to inject the error and reproduce it.)
After these changes, the driver was loaded, but it still complains
about the lack of firmware (both SOF and fallback one).
The binding with HDMI codec seems working, but the analog one is still
missing.
thanks,
Takashi
