Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: doc: cs35l56: Update firmware filename description for B0 silicon
Date: Mon,  3 Nov 2025 11:58:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103115809.33953-1-rf@opensource.cirrus.com> (raw)

Update the text for firmware file naming to show that the l?u? suffix is
supported on CS35L56 B0 silicon and ampN was only used on early firmware.

The previous version of this text only said that B0 silicon used the ampN
suffix. Since kernel 6.16 the driver supports both the old ampN and
new l?u? suffix for B0 silicon. New firmwares will use the l?u? suffix.
