[PATCH] soundwire: dmi-quirks: Disable ghost Realtek on Asus Zenbook Duo

[Charles Keepax]

The Asus Zenbook Duo also has a Realtek device in the ACPI that
doesn't exist in the physical hardware. This confuses the machine
driver into attempting to create DAI links for the device. Add a
quirk to remove this device.

This is likely to be a never-ending race... I wonder if the machine
description used to find the relevant machine driver could be used to
drop that ghost device, or if there would be any merit in having a quirk
file provided to distros and read via e.g. sysfs to have faster patching
done by userspace.
