Bug Description
BugLink: https:/
[Impact]
Intel released the sof-firmware v1.6, and in our oem projects, the
Dell TGL machines and the machines with soundwire audio need the
new firmware, otherwise they will fail to load the firmware or
the audio can't work well.
[Fix]
replace the old sof-firmware-v1.4.2 with sof-firmware-v1.6
[Test]
Tested on the Dell cml/tgl soundwire machines, all audio functions
worked well, and those audio functions didn't work with old firmware.
Tested on Lenovo dimc machines, all audio functions worked as well
as before.
[Regression Potential]
Intel tested the new firmware with the 5.8 and 5.9 kernel, but we need
the new firmware to work with 5.4 and 5.6 kernel as well, so there is
some possibility that the 5.4/5.6 kernel can't work well with the new
sof-firmware. I have tested the new firmware with 5.4/5.6 kernel on some
Lenovo machines, so far no issues were found.

This update would also fix at least bug #1881505.
Basically, my audio on Lenovo T14 was working very unreliably and jammed with a DSP panic quite often with the 1.4.2 version, but seems to work just fine with 1.6.
It would be great to get this update included soon, since it's very inconvenient to reboot the laptop about 1-2 times a day, because that seems to be the only way to get audio working after the DSP paic.
