[alsa-devel] [PATCH 07/13] topology: Define new type and section name to configure physical links

[mengdong.lin at linux.intel.com]

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

Users may not use DPCM but still need to configure the physical links.
So we should not only consider backend links for DPCM.

- SND_TPLG_TYPE_LINK is defined to configure physical links by C API.
  And SND_TPLG_TYPE_BE is still supported to configure Backend links for
  DPCM cases.

- SectionLink can be used to configure physical links in text conf file.
  And SectionBE is still supported to config Backend links for DPCM cases.

Actually, users can use SND_TPLG_TYPE_LINK and SectionLink to configure
backend links for DPCM cases, because BE links are also physical links.
The parsing is same and we rename the function from tplg_parse_be to
tplg_parse_link.
