This patch was prepared to address many issues regarding broken DMIC
configurations.
You are right - there are different DMIC configurations on different
devices, but, since path multi-configuration feature is not upstreamed
in cAVS driver, we are not able to include all of these in one topology
file.
This is a reference topology, and it was successfully validated on few
production laptops (including models on which DMIC capture was not
working).
