card->disable_route_checks is a leftover from skylake driver which had 
partial routes in some topologies, as skylake driver was removed, 
perhaps we can remove the field altogether?

Quick grep shows that there is only one board left which sets it:
sound/soc/intel/boards/skl_hda_dsp_generic.c: 
card->disable_route_checks = true;
and it only does it after checking that parent driver isn't SOF, and as 
skylake driver was removed it is dead code (it was shared between SOF 
and skylake drivers).

As such I would recommend removing whole thing altogether ;)
