From 73affae222ec0ffe44d870e0085e55cdbe85d30d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre-Louis Bossart Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 18:09:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: add Kconfig option for strict ABI checks When the kernel is more recent than firmware files, it will always behave in backwards-compatible ways. Add optional behavior to check if the kernel is older than the firmware files, so that the kernel fails early instead of attempting to use new functionality it does not support.
