Yes, it's the latter case, SOF will be the only driver supporting DMICs
on CometLake, so it'd be better to avoid creating a conflict with SOF or
enabling a configuration by default which is known to have restrictions.
It's fine to add the CML IDs, but better avoid adding CML under the
SKYLAKE all-you-can-eat selector.
