Unfortunately, this has caused a regression. The SST and SOF drivers 
cannot both be enabled for the same Intel platform in the kernel 
configuration, according to Intel. 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204237#c15

As described in the bug, this change causes a loss of sound on the Intel 
Broadwell platform (and even significantly degrades system performance 
when attempting to play sound).

To clarify, the statement above applies to the Baytrail and Broadwell 
platforms (only).


These lines that were just added in debian/config/amd64/config need to 
be removed:

    CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BAYTRAIL_SUPPORT=y
    CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BROADWELL_SUPPORT=y

This will be enforced via Kconfig beginning in Linux 5.5-rc1:

The SOF drivers/firmware for the Broadwell and Baytrail platforms have 
issues, and Intel does not consider them ready for use in distributions yet:

Thank you.
