debian: config: x86: Disable SOF support for Intel audio DSPs

The new amd64 reference hardware is the UP Squared 6000 board. After
booting, the Apertis release v2021 kernel periodically reports error on
the audio DSP like to following:

  [   64.688382] intel-sdw intel-sdw.0: Parity error
  [   64.699847] intel-sdw intel-sdw.0: Bus clash for control word

The main issue here is that these kernel log messages are constantly
output to the serial console, which makes imposible to parse any command
output specially on LAVA testing.

As sound is not really a critical requirement and Apertis v2021 release
will reach the end of support in a few months, let's quickly disable the
related driver.

There are a few tests on v2021 showing that the command output can't be parsed due to these messages:
