ASoC driver names

[Jaroslav Kysela]

Hi all,

   I am fighting actually with the ASoC driver names. The current situation, 
where each hardware variant (card name) is mapped to the driver name is not 
very practical (and not correct). The driver name should describe the common 
part (usually the controller - like 'HDA-Intel' or bus 'USB-Audio').

   I am talking about the situation, where the ASoC card name is set via the 
device tree (snd_soc_of_parse_card_name) like in [1], but the change may be 
considered for other drivers like Intel SST:

Card driver name: Lenovo-YOGA-C63
Card name: Lenovo-YOGA-C630-13Q50
Card long name: LENOVO-81JL-LenovoYOGAC630_13Q50-LNVNB161216

   My question is, can we change / add the more apropriate driver names 
conditionally with a new kernel CONFIG option? Will you accept this change?

   The goal is to group the related UCM2 configurations and do the required 
split inside the UCM2 top-level configuration file based on card components 
string or other card identificators (related to the driver).

				Thanks,
					Jaroslav
