Yeah, I think we're kind of stuck with some degree of fairly tight coupling at some point though - at some point we're going to need to work out which link in the driver corresponds to which link in the firmware file.
There is a 'version' field in struct snd_soc_tplg_hdr, which is a vendor-specific version number. The driver can check this field of a firmware topology and decide whether to support this firmware or not.
Is this okay?
Well, they probably could check that but it's not really the point - we don't want to break things at all here, we should try to avoid forcing users to upgrade their userspace with their kernel since that makes life harder for everyone.
