[PATCH v3 0/2] ucm: Automatically load the best config file based on the card long name

[mengdong.lin]

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

Intel DSP platform drivers are used by many different devices. For user
space to differentiate them, now ASoC provide API for machine drivers to
include the DMI info (vendor, product and board) in card long name. This
series will add UCM support for loading best device-specific configuration
based on the card long name.

For the ASoC kernel patch, please see
ASoC: core: Add API to use DMI name in sound card long name (v2)

Mengdong Lin (2):
  ucm: Load device-specific configuration file based on the card long
    name
  ucm: Add command 'get _file' to get the config file name of the opened
    card

History:
v2: Request the device-specific file name to match the card long name,
    no long use automatic key word matching and scoring to avoid error
    and uncertainty. And add command to check the name of actually loaded
    configuration file.

v3: Fix num in strncpy of the long name, which should be
    MAX_CARD_LONG_NAME - 1, not MAX_CARD_LONG_NAME (80).

Mengdong Lin (2):
  ucm: Load device-specific configuration file based on the card long
    name
  ucm: Add command 'get _file' to get the config file name of the opened
    card

[PATCH v3 1/2] ucm: Load device-specific configuration file based on the card long name

[mengdong.lin]

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

Intel DSP platform drivers are used by many different devices. For user
space to differentiate them, ASoC machine drivers may use the DMI info
(vendor.product.board) as card long name. Possible card long names
are:
DellInc..XPS139343.0310JH
IntelCorp..BroadwellClientplatform.WilsonBeachSDS
ASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC..T100TA.T100TA
Circuitco.MinnowboardMaxD0PLATFORM.MinnowBoardMAX
...

And user space can define configuration files like longname\longname.conf
for a specific device.

When being asked to load configuration file of a card, UCM will try to
find the card in the local machine and get its long name. If the card
long name is available, try to load the file longname\longname.conf to
get the best device-specific configuration; if this file is not available,
fall back to load the default configuration file name\name.conf as
before.

This update is backward compatible, because if ASoC machine drivers don't
explicity use DMI or other means to set the card long name, ASoC core
will use the card name as the long name. So UCM will load the config
file that matches both the card name and the long name.

[PATCH v3 2/2] ucm: Add command 'get _file' to get the config file name of the opened card

[mengdong.lin]

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

After opening a card, this command can show the name of the actually
loaded configuration file, either matches the card name or card long name.
So developers can check if there is a device-sepcific configuration file
available for a given card.
