While 5.5.x works fine, mainline as of ac309e7744be (v5.6-rc6+) causes me
some sound-related trouble: after boot, the sound works fine -- but once I
suspend and resume my broadwell-based XPS13, I need to switch to headphone
and back to speaker to hear something. But what I hear isn't music but
garbled output.

It's my understanding that the use of the haswell driver is opt-in for Dell
XPS13 9343. When we run the SOF driver on this device, we have to explicitly
bypass an ACPI quirk that forces HDAudio to be used:

Have you tried to run in plain vanilla HDAudio mode?

I had (see 18d78b64fddc), but not any more in years (and I'd like to keep
using I2S, which has worked flawlessly in these years).

ok. I don't think Intel folks have this device available, or it's used for other things, but if you want to bisect on you may want to use [1] to solve DRM issues. I used it to make Broadwell/Samus work again with SOF.

An alternate path would be to switch to SOF. It's still viewed as a developer option but Broadwell/Samus work reliably for me and we have a Broadwell-rt286 platform used for CI.
