Yes, it's a kind of chicken-and-egg problem, and we want that the
patches have actually users before merging to the mainline.

I rebased the patches to 5.17-rc1 with the adaption for the latest
ZSTD API and pushed to topic/fw-loader-zstd-5.17 branch of my
sound.git tree.  It's totally untested, and it'd be appreciated if
anyone can confirm that it's working and used.  Then we can happily
re-submit the patches for the merge.


thanks,

Takashi
