[ Upstream commit 9565c9d53c5b440f0dde6fa731a99c1b14d879d2 ]

Setting format to s16le is required for compressed playback on compatible
soundcards.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

YES – forcing S16LE in the backend fixup is a necessary bug fix and safe
to carry into stable.

- `sc8280xp_be_hw_params_fixup()` now applies `snd_mask_set_format(fmt,
  SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE)` (sound/soc/qcom/sc8280xp.c:92-101) and
  includes the proper header to access that helper
  (sound/soc/qcom/sc8280xp.c:10). Without this restriction the BE
  inherits whatever format the FE negotiated (often S32_LE), so the CDC
  DMA path tries to run at the wrong width.
- The hardware side really needs the negotiated width to be 16-bit: the
  Q6 backend programs `cfg->bit_width = params_width(params);` before
  starting the CDC DMA port (sound/soc/qcom/qdsp6/q6afe-dai.c:364-366).
  When the format stays at 32‑bit the DSP refuses to start compressed-
  playback streams, which is the user-visible failure cited in the
  commit message.
- Other Qualcomm soundwire machine drivers already lock their BE formats
  to S16LE (e.g. sound/soc/qcom/sm8250.c:62-71), so this change simply
  brings sc8280xp into line with established practice and with the
  firmware expectations of the WCD/WSA codecs on this platform.
- The patch is tiny, contained to the machine driver, and has no
  architectural fallout. It fixes a real regression (compressed playback
  breaking on supported boards) and does not alter the channel/rate
  handling beyond what was already enforced, so the regression risk is
  minimal.

Given the clear user impact, alignment with existing platforms, and the
low risk of the change, it should be backported to stable kernels that
carry the sc8280xp machine driver.
