yes, we end-up with a bad configuration with BAYTRAIL as m and 
Merrifield as y. That's broken since they share the same file.

I have a fix being tested here:
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/2874

The idea is what you suggested, move the common parts to a new file but 
I used an 'atom' module instead #include to avoid duplication. The 
exported functions are namespaced to avoid polluting the global symbol map.

The only other change needed is in the Makefile, We already have 
CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_ATOM_HIFI_EP in the Kconfig and that can be 
used for this module.

It'd rather do this the right way with a proper code partitioning, I was 
tempted to do it multiple times and I've had it with this code.
