ok, I missed this capture case indeed, but when I look at the Chrome 
3.14 code I don't see this constraint being added, and we already have 
an ssp0_fixup function where 2 channels only are used.

	/* The ADSP will covert the FE rate to 48k, stereo */
	rate->min = rate->max = 48000;
	channels->min = channels->max = 2;

I also don't see any case where we support 4 channels in any broadwell 
machine driver?

So again can you point me to an issue or existing backport that requires 
the patch below. Not trying to be obtuse but we should only change older 
platforms when there is evidence that a change is needed.
