Note being "clean ALSA" is really not a good thing now a days,
for lots of things we depend on pulseaudio (like setting
up UCM mixer profiles).

Mogens, Dean, can you please try the SND_SOC_INTEL_CHT_BSW_MAX98090_TI_MACH
driver, without reverting any patches, with the attached patch on top and
see if that helps?

Thanks & Regards,
