Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: Intel: Skylake: mark HDAudio codec support as deprecated.
Git-commit: 02701b909c2fab4b49f9c9545ab921c9b2c7a768
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-16518

This option famously broke audio on Linus' laptop and the problem have
not been fixed.

Mark as DEPRECATED to avoid any ambiguity with distros.

Use SOF if you need HDaudio support w/ the DSP enabled, e.g. for DMIC
capture.
