Mark, there is not a single word I don't agree with in your statement.
In regard to quirks - I was surprised how much detail Hans found out
regarding atom platforms. That's a lot of good input. And that's
probably one of the key reasons why atom is properly supported in linux.
My point has more "basic" nature.

..more. Dynamic selection made sense if you're in transition period as
it is the case for atoms. There is no transition period for hsw/bdw. BDW
as "supported" by SOF would be a strong claim. There is no commitment
and Intel does not recommend using it for hsw/bdw for any scenario. And
as such, selection-subject does not apply here.
Believe removal of /sof/intel/bdw.c is in order?
