ASoC: topology: Improve backwards compatibility with v4 topology files
Commit dc31e741db ("ASoC: topology: ABI - Add the types for BE
DAI") introduced sound topology files version 5. Initially, this
change made the topology code incompatible with v4 topology files.
Backwards compatibility with v4 configuration files was
subsequently added with commit 288b8da7e9 ("ASoC: topology:
Support topology file of ABI v4").

Unfortunately, backwards compatibility was never fully implemented.

First, the manifest size in (Skylake) v4 configuration files is set
to 0, which causes manifest_new_ver() to bail out with error messages
similar to the following.

snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: ASoC: invalid manifest size
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: tplg component load failed-22
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: Failed to init topology!
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: ASoC: failed to probe component -22
skl_n88l25_m98357a skl_n88l25_m98357a: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -22
skl_n88l25_m98357a: probe of skl_n88l25_m98357a failed with error -22

After this problem is fixed, the following error message is seen instead.

snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: ASoC: old version of manifest
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: Invalid descriptor token 1093938482
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: ASoC: failed to load widget media0_in cpr 0
snd_soc_skl 0000:00:1f.3: tPlg component load failed-22

This message is seen because backwards compatibility for loading widgets
was never implemented.

The lack of audio support when running the upstream kernel on recent
Chromebooks has been reported in various forums, and can be traced back
to this problem. Attempts to fix the problem, usually by providing v5
configuration files, were only partially successful.

Let's implement backward compatibility properly to solve the problem
for good.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
