[PATCH v2] ASoC: core: clarify the driver name initialization

I am not following any of this, sorry.

The existing UCM configuration uses the card name, e.g.
sof-glkda7219max. That works and needs zero extra work.

If all the cards registered in sound/soc/intel/boards use the same
"SOF-Intel" driver name, then the driver name cannot be used for any UCM
selection.

What is the point of including all the cardName.conf files at a higher
level that brings no obvious value beyond an indirection that we already
have with the path ucm2/Intel ?

What am I missing ??
