It is not fully functional and does not perform its main function (noise cancellation) because it has to be called only for DMIC. Same time it is essential to be set so that audio could work on device.

Once there is such a framework in kernel, which allows to control dsp from, I assume, asoc machine driver, this driver can be moved wherever it should be. Currently I can not tell where it should be since I haven't seen dsp drivers like this in kernel.
