Hi Angelo,

The flags approach was actually my first thought and I think that would
have been the best choice if the quirks usage was limited to a single
file (acp.c).

Since they need to be exposed externally as well (acp-loader.c,
vangogh.c) and already using a dedicated member in struct
sof_amd_acp_desc related to the existing quirk, I found the "quirks"
struct solution a bit more natural/convenient to follow (I've done a bit
of research before and noticed other drivers having similar handling).

However, as you already pointed out, it may also come down to individual
preferences, so I'm open to using the flags if there is not enough
reasoning to stick with the current implementation.

Thanks,
Cristian
