ALSA: hda: intel-dsp-config: Prefer legacy driver as fallback

When config table entries don't match with the device to be probed,
currently we fall back to SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_ANY, which means to
allow any drivers to bind with it.

This was set so with the assumption (or hope) that all controller
drivers should cover the devices generally, but in practice, this
caused a problem as reported recently.  Namely, when a specific
kconfig for SOF isn't set for the modern Intel chips like Alderlake,
a wrong driver (AVS) got probed and failed.  This is because we have
entries like:

 #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ALDERLAKE)
 /* Alder Lake / Raptor Lake */
 	{
 		.flags = FLAG_SOF | FLAG_SOF_ONLY_IF_DMIC_OR_SOUNDWIRE,
 		.device = PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_HDA_ADL_S,
 	},
 ....
 #endif

so this entry is effective only when CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ALDERLAKE is
set.  If not set, there is no matching entry, hence it returns
SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_ANY as fallback.  OTOH, if the kconfig is set, it
explicitly falls back to SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_LEGACY when no DMIC or
SoundWire is found -- that was the working scenario.  That being said,
the current setup may be broken for modern Intel chips that are
supposed to work with either SOF or legacy driver when the
corresponding kconfig were missing.

For addressing the problem above, this patch changes the fallback
driver to the legacy driver, i.e. return SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_LEGACY
type as much as possible.  When CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL is also disabled,
the fallback is set to SND_INTEL_DSP_DRIVER_ANY type, just to be sure.
