It should work for UCM2. UCM2 can compare the components string and load or 
use the appropriate piece of configuration. So it means that 
ucm2/USB-Audio/USB-Audio.conf will handle this.

I also added the possibility to extract 'VideoMic' (regex) from the 
'hw:VideoMic' string and include the file from the custom path (syntax 3 in 
UCM2). So we can end with the ucm2/USB-Audio/HiFi-VideoMic.conf file.

So basically, the prefix may be driver specific but consistent, so we can do a 
match against it in the user space. Or we may use 'hint:<hwid>' or so.
