Kernel 6.12.92 compiled with SOF enabled

Yes, having another go! Here is blog post about the previous attempt:

• SOF fail trying again — May 25, 2026

Forum member NNI has compiled the kernel and reports success:

I have used basically the same kernel config, except disabled some "Kernel hacking" debug features. I doubt that Sound Open Firmware would require them, and one of them, CONFIG_LOCKDEV, caused the Broadcom "wl" module compile to fail, with "GPL only symbol: lockdep_init_map_type"

Interesting, in a previous blog post I reported using a script from the SOF project site, to determine what to enable in the '.config' file, and it enabled lots of kernel debugging features. Which I have now disabled. But, very odd, the script failed to enable what NNI found to be essential for SOF to work; CONFIG_SND_SOC_INTEL_SOUNDWIRE_LINK_BASELINE.

The '.config' file will be in woofQ2 when I next upload it, also uploaded separately here, with false ".gz" appended.
