Platform specific firmwares are normally located in sub folders of the SoC.

Provide more flexibity by reading firmware-name from DT.

Why not try a series of firmware names/locations generated using the
identifying information for the card/system?  That way we don't have to
put a filename in the ABI which has fun scaling issues.

This is what was done by Srini in the initial (currently committed) version. Unfortunately this easily results in the audio topology being separated from the rest of the platform-specific firmware. For example, for the mentioned X13s we already have a subdir under /lib/firmware/qcom and several firmware-name DT properties pointing to the files in that subdir:

$ grep firmware-name arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sc8280xp-lenovo-thinkpad-x13s.dts
		firmware-name = "qcom/sc8280xp/LENOVO/21BX/qcdxkmsuc8280.mbn";
	firmware-name = "qcom/sc8280xp/LENOVO/21BX/qcadsp8280.mbn";
	firmware-name = "qcom/sc8280xp/LENOVO/21BX/qccdsp8280.mbn";

This is not unique to the X13s, other Qualcomm boards also use full paths.
