The driver currently loads a hardcoded firmware path. This adds support
for reading a device specific path from the kernel device tree.

The patch was originally part of a larger change [0] by Teguh Sobirin
and was cut down to only the device specific firmware part.

Applied to

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-next

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: codecs: aw88166: Support device specific firmware
      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/misc/c/fc1fbafc18a0

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
