This patch was prepared to address many issues regarding broken DMIC 
configurations.

You are right - there are different DMIC configurations on different 
devices, but, since path multi-configuration feature is not upstreamed 
in cAVS driver, we are not able to include all of these in one topology 
file.

This is a reference topology, and it was successfully validated on few 
production laptops (including models on which DMIC capture was not 
working).
