ASoC: aw88399: add per-instance BSTS status bypass flag

Browse source

Add a bsts_unreliable flag to struct aw88399 that, when set, causes
the startup status check (aw_dev_check_sysst) to skip the BSTS
(boost startup finished) requirement.

On some hardware, the BSTS bit in the SYSST register (0x01, bit 9)
does not reliably assert even during normal audio playback. Register
inspection on affected Lenovo Legion hardware shows both amplifiers
reporting BSTS=0 on both channels despite clean audio output.

Per the AW88399 datasheet, BSTS indicates boost startup completion.
If BSTS never reliably sets to 1, the chip is never allowed to start
by aw_dev_check_sysst, regardless of whether the boot failure is genuine.

The new flag defaults to false via kzalloc, preserving the original check
behavior for all existing users. No existing code path sets this flag;
it will be set by the forthcoming HDA side codec property driver for
affected hardware.
