Yes, by default my ICL test board uses HDaudio for the codec so the 
SoundWire link0 is disabled. If I rework the board and change the BIOS 
advanced menu then SoundWire link0 is enabled. This information is 
dynamically provided to the OS after the _INI step.
SoundWire-2/3 are used typically for attached DMICs or for a combination 
of SoundWire amplifier and mic capture. It's really platform-specific.
