[alsa-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/2] ASoC: Use DMI name in sound card long name

[mengdong.lin at linux.intel.com]

From: Mengdong Lin <mengdong.lin at linux.intel.com>

This series is based on Liam's idea to use DMI name as the sound card
short name in the audio workshop. After testing on serveral machines,
we changed the design a little:
- Not change the card name (short name), keep it simple. So the card ID
  won't change as well.
- Use short name and DMI name together to make a readable and unqique
  long name.

Machine drivers can use a new API to get this feature.

We hope to get aligned on the kernel side at first, then we'll update UCM
code in alsa-lib: when the sound server ask UCM to open a sound card,
UCM will try to find the best configuration file that matches the card
long name, and only if not avaiable, fallback to the default configuration
file that matches the card name (short name).
