Yes, I believe so too. Although we don't have yet a machine that has 
routed audio differently around the same codec in a same platform but 
I'm sure that will happen. Then I think it's a case by case decision 
will that be better to handle in the same machine driver or here in the 
loader.

Our target is to get as much as possible data from ACPI but meanwhile 
there will be machines where only data is basically just the SST and 
codec ACPI IDs + DMI or some other unique identifier.
