I don't mind doing this. However, keeping the change local and in a single
patch
would make it easier to backport, and I think that the ability to backport
would be
essential to get more than one-person test coverage. I also would have liked
feedback from someone at Intel, at least for the Skylake specific
structures.

Anyway, what file do you have in mind for the structure definitions, both
for the ones
in soc-tolopogy.c and the ones needed in skl-topology.c ? Everything into
asoc.h,
or something else ?
