** Description changed:

- This bug is for tracking purpose.
+ Intel suggested that we do 2 actions to fix this problem, the 1st is
+ merging 5 kernel patches, this only applies to H and OEM-5.10 since
+ there is no tgl.c in the groovy kernel yet. the 2nd is change a kernel
+ config, this change applies to H, G and OEM-5.10.
+ 
+ https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/issues/2781
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ When we run poweroff/on stress test on some lenovo TGL laptop, the
+ system will randomly hang, and when this issue happens, the dmesg
+ shows the sof audio driver fails.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ Intel recommend that we backport 5 kernel patches and change a
+ kernel config.
+ 
+ [Test]
+ After applying the changes, and test on TGL/cml/whl machines,
+ the audio function works as good as before, and the poweroff stress
+ test didn't hang anymore.
+ 
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ The kernel patches probably could introduce issues when system
+ powre off or reboot on TGL machines, but this possibility is low
+ since we have tested these patches on different TGL machines.
+ 
+ the kernel option change could introduce power consumption
+ regression, but it only affects power saving and package_cstate values
+ when any capture stream is active, while no impact if all capture
+ streams are inactive. that is to say, in theory it will not impact
+ the power consumption in short idle or long idle. And I checked the
+ system cound enter package_c10 after this change.
