Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] Add raw OPUS codec support for compress offload

This series adds support in kernel to recognise raw (or plain) OPUS
codec playback for compress offloading. At this point this series
doesn't deal with OPUS packets packed in any kind of containers (OGG or
others) and focuses on adding missing bits for pure OPUS packets.

The second patch adds its usage in Qualcomm Audio DSP code. To correctly
recognise raw OPUS packets by qdsp6, each packets needs to be prepended
with 4-bytes field that contains length of a raw OPUS packet.
It is expected to be useful for usecases when OPUS packets are streamed
over network and they are not encapsulated in a container. Userspace
application that will use the compress API has to manually add such
4-bytes long field to each OPUS packet.

This is tested on sm8750-mtp. It is expected that next hardware revisions
will also support raw OPUS codec offloading.

Dependencies are:
-- hardware with DSP that supports decoding OPUS packets (>=sm8750);
-- adsp fastrpc for sm8750;
-- explicitly setting format in sm8750 soundcard driver;
-- running adsprpcd tool with support for Audio PD and DSP libraries
loading support (or its alternative);
-- tinycompress fcplay tool that will prepare raw opus packets and
do the required addition of length field.

The userspace tinycompress tool with support for raw OPUS compress
playback is located here:
https://github.com/laklimov/tinycompress_opus
branch: opus_v3_workinprogress

It is not expected that it is ready and still needs some work. More like PoC.
