Perhaps it makes sense to do something like _HIFI2 and on top
HIFI2_PLATFORM and HIFI2_PCI, but it seems like a current split.

So, it means the split itself is not accurate in the first place.
Pierre, Vinod?

Edison should not be here (it's a board, while Merrifield is a platform)

X86_INTEL_LPSS has nothing to do with Merrifield. :-)

Above looks like a solution to me, although I'm not familiar with ASoC
code, so, I would rely on Pierre, Vinod and Liam suggestions.
