[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: topology: Reenable use from userspace

[Mark Brown]

We had inserted a #error into the topology UAPI code to ensure that the
ABI was not adopted by userspace while final review and testing was
ongoing.  The idea was that some finishing touches would be made to the
ABI before declaring it stable and suitable for use in production but
this has not yet happened as more than a year later revisions to the ABI
are still onging.

The reality however is that people are shipping topology files in
production and these ABI changes are causing practical issues for users
and we can't break userspace.  This makes this error pointless so we
should remove it.
