sof-firmware: link firmwares for Jasper Lake and Tiger Lake
After hours of trying to find out why SOF (from repo) didn't like my
hardware, I tried installing the archive directly from
github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/ instead. To my surprise, it worked!

Taking a closer look at the template, I realized that the firmware files
for my system weren't linked, causing the following errors on boot.

```
[   11.829580] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: request firmware intel/sof/sof-tgl.ri failed err: -2
[   11.829709] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: failed to load DSP firmware -2
[   11.830177] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: sof_probe_work failed err: -2
```

This PR **should** fix that, but my xbps-src fu is lacking, so I haven't
actually managed to build the package. I get the following logs, even
though I have wiped the {host,master}dir and did a binary-bootstrap
again. I'll have a closer look at the manual in the weekend.

```
=> Registering new packages to /host/binpkgs
index: skipping `sof-firmware-1.6.1_1' (x86_64), already registered.

I couldn't find a "jsl" binary anywhere in the tarball, so it shouldn't be listed here. However, there is an "ehl" binary in the intel-signed folder that should probably be included here.

Huh, strange! I just copied jsl as seen in `go.sh` and didn't get any packaging errors, which is why I didn't verify. I removed jsl and added ehl instead!

Comment:
Good news: I was able to find a way to use their own script to do the installation with only a little bit of patching required; I'll copy my files below. Bad news: I also realized that this package didn't install the firmware tools that come with it, and in my attempt to do so I've run into another problem. The xbps-src error I've encountered is `SONAME: libsof_tplg_parser.so <-> UNKNOWN PKG PLEASE FIX!`. I know this is a problem with `common/shlibs`, but for the life of me I can't figure out where this library comes from.

Changed part of the template:
```shell
do_install() {
	for bin in tools/v${version}/*; do
		vbin ${bin}
	done
	vlicense LICENCE.NXP

Comment:
Great to hear!

For the library, we need to build the original project, no? https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/blob/master/tools/tplg_parser/tplg_parser.c
Maybe it would be easier if the package skipped the distributed binaries and built everything from source? I'm completely new to xbps-src (and packaging as a whole really) so I have no idea how you generally go about doing this, but I would like to learn. :)

Building firmware from source is not a good idea :)

@cinerea0 do you think you could try to upstream something to make their patch work for them and for us? Maybe add a `$PREFIX` variable.

Comment:
After a discussion with someone from the SOF project, and based on what I've read here, I think we should leave the tools out of this package because they're really only going to be used by firmware developers. If it becomes necessary in the future, I'll package the tools by building them from source.

As for the patch I posted earlier, I realized I don't actually need it. The following `do_install` function takes care of installation without the patch:
```shell
do_install() {
	vlicense LICENCE.NXP
	vmkdir usr/lib/firmware/intel
	export ROOT=${DESTDIR}/usr
	export SOF_VERSION=v${version}
	./go.sh
}

Subject: [PATCH] sof-firmware: use provided install script

Previous versions of this package manually linked firmware files.
This caused some firmwares to slip by unlinked.

As a consequence, the following errors were encountered on boot
with a Tiger Lake processor.

```
[   11.829580] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: request firmware intel/sof/sof-tgl.ri failed err: -2

[   11.830177] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: sof_probe_work failed err: -2

@cinerea0 No worries! I'm glad to help and I'm sure this won't be the last time! :)
Been a bit busy the last couple of days though, hence the delay in response.

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

sof-firmware: use provided install script
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27917

Description:
**note** this message may be out of date due to commits being squashed. Refer to the latest commit message instad.

After hours of trying to find out why SOF (from repo) didn't like my
hardware, I tried installing the archive directly from
github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/ instead. To my surprise, it worked!

Taking a closer look at the template, I realized that the firmware files
for my system weren't linked, causing the following errors on boot.

```
[   11.829580] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: request firmware intel/sof/sof-tgl.ri failed err: -2
[   11.829709] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: failed to load DSP firmware -2
[   11.830177] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: sof_probe_work failed err: -2
```

**Note**
I have only tested this on Tiger Lake.
