I appreciate what you are trying to suggest, and I am all for trying to put this proliferation of quirks under control, but the autodetection based on rules seems out-of-reach if we don't first cleanup the existing quirks.
If "volteer" and "brya" mean different things to different people, and reference and derivatives are not well identified, the odds of regressions seem very high to me.
The reason that we need so many DMI quirks is that we are not able to know which SSP port is used by headphone and amplifier. However, it seems to me that platform and machine driver does not care about the DAI name.
I've tested to rename the backend DAIs as something like 'SSP-HP', 'SSP-SPK', and 'SSP-BT' so we don't need to create new board info just because the SSP port is different. However, we need to modify topology since DAI name is changed.
