It will break the existing tplg name fixup mechanism. Please see below
in hda_machine_select()
		if (!sof_pdata->tplg_filename) {
			/* remove file extension if it exists */
			tplg_filename = remove_file_ext(mach->sof_tplg_filename);
			if (!tplg_filename)
				return NULL;

			sof_pdata->tplg_filename = tplg_filename;
			tplg_fixup = true;
		}
With the change, sof_pdata->tplg_filename will be set and we won't do
tplg fixup for other components.
