[PATCH] ASoC: SOF: add a pointer to download repo in case FW request fails

[Kai Vehmanen]

The SOF firmware and topology files are not distributed via
linux-firmware. To help debugging cases where correct firmware is
not installed, print a pointer to the official upstream repository
for Sound Open Firmware releases.

[1/1] ASoC: SOF: add a pointer to download repo in case FW request fails
      commit: 89e641ae647a4ebc1d608fd56f331a4f4886da5f

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
