Sound cards are defined by machines. And off-soc codecs and DSPs embedded in DSP can be taken as the components and resued by different machines/ sound cards. This series allows codec and SOC vendors to install UCM configuration files for a specific codec or DSP, and sound card verb files can just include these conf files of components, and trigger enable/ disable sequence defined by the component devices.
Component devices will not be exposed to applications for backward compatibility. So audio servers like PulseAudio and CRAS still only see the machine devices.
The intention here is that the sound server will load the UCM configuration based on the sound card name in []. I have patches to improve this for Intel based machines which tend to all use the platform name....sending shortly.
