The generic parser accepts the preferred_dacs[] pairs as a hint for assigning a DAC to each pin, but this hint doesn't work always effectively. Currently it's merely a secondary choice after the trial with the path index failed. This made sometimes it difficult to assign DACs without mimicking the connection list and/or the badness table.
This patch adds a new flag, obey_preferred_dacs, that changes the behavior of the parser. As its name stands, the parser obeys the given preferred_dacs[] pairs by skipping the path index matching and giving a high penalty if no DAC is assigned by the pairs. This mode will help for assigning the fixed DACs forcibly from the codec driver.
