If you remove support for all other baytrail options this driver should
still be there and selectable. We just can't support both this driver for
Chromebooks and the rest for other machines with the same distribution at
the moment.

That sounds like a regression, what's the plan to fix it.

The simple fix is easy: disable all other codecs and the
BYT_MAX98090 option will be enabled. BYT_MAX98090 relies on the 'old'
non-dpcm driver which is used only for Chromebooks with Baytrail, which
never enable any other codecs, so there was never any issue before.

That's not really that helpful for a distro kernel (this is for Fedora
AIUI).


Yes, this is unfortunate as it means that something is going to lose sound
support in Fedora. :( It's probably going to be the Chromebook unless another
group starts screaming louder.

Thanks,
