With topology changes in alsa-lib, driver data for modules can now be passed in topology conf file using tuples.
These changes allow private data to represented by tuples of type UUID, byte, short, word and strings.
A question I ask quite often: the topology code has been in mainline since v4.2 but still has a big old #error at the top preventing any actual use from userspace. We're now more than a year after the code was originally merged and still no patches to actually make this ABI usable from userspace. Where are we at with that?
Mengdong was working on last set of features for providing DAIlinks. After that we dont have any more updates planned on topology API.
There will be 2 more series to bring some topology ABI update. The code is ready and verified. And we will not modify ABI to break backward compatibility after this.
So I think we cna remove it for current cycle. Mengdong cna you please confirm..
I think we may remove those #error after this cycle of upstreaming. We'll resume the patch upstreaming this week.
Thanks Mengdong
