Kevin Yeh and I tested audio playback on multiple machines and on multiple Ubuntu versions before and after updating linux-firmware. We didn't find any regressions. See <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M6eU7RgBoorkgdPFHmTGxOB7D_UjpGmZLIwcMOQL1oA>.

[Fix] replace the old sof-firmware-v1.4.2 with sof-firmware-v1.6 [Test] Tested on the Dell cml/tgl soundwire machines, all audio functions worked well, and those audio functions didn't work with old firmware. Tested on Lenovo dimc machines, all audio functions worked as well as before. [Regression Potential] Intel tested the new firmware with the 5.8 and 5.9 kernel, but we need the new firmware to work with 5.4 and 5.6 kernel as well, so there is some possibility that the 5.4/5.6 kernel can't work well with the new sof-firmware. I have tested the new firmware with 5.4/5.6 kernel on some Lenovo machines, so far no issues were found.
