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.
