In general, linux-firmware is not the place to put driver-specific 
configuration files. It'd best to have standard UCM/topology files being 
build and honored during disto image creation.

In regard to the guide, thanks for checking it out. What do you think 
could be improved so that normal user has easier time with it? Feedback 
is much appreciated.
