Update the text for firmware file naming to show that the l?u? suffix is
supported on CS35L56 B0 silicon and ampN was only used on early firmware.

The previous version of this text only said that B0 silicon used the ampN
suffix. Since kernel 6.16 the driver supports both the old ampN and
new l?u? suffix for B0 silicon. New firmwares will use the l?u? suffix.

[1/1] ASoC: doc: cs35l56: Update firmware filename description for B0 silicon
      commit: 8da0efc3da9312b65f5cbf06e57d284f69222b2e

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
