The OLED model was launched with a 6.1-based kernel which relied on a
downstream implementation of the Vangogh SOF drivers.  Those were
mainlined by AMD way later, in v6.6, but during the upstreaming process
we ended up with this unfortunate ID assignments incompatibility.

I'm not aware of an alternative topology file available so far.

I think that would be the long-term goal, so until that is figured out,
the easiest workaround to get this working with mainline is to apply the
enum change patch.
