If you add this platform to -stable, you'd need the entire series https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/20220308192610.392950-1-pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com/, and the additions made by Mauro.

My take is that it's not really relevant for -stable, support for this hardware codec is still a works-in-progress and while we'd certainly want to have more distributions use the hardware support it's quite disruptive for -stable maintainers, with the risk of compilation problems and functional issues introduced. it'll make more sense for 5.18+.
