ASoC: core: Add API to use DMI name in sound card long name
Intel DSP platform drivers are used by many different devices but are difficult for userspace to differentiate. This patch adds an API to allow the DMI name to be used in the sound card long name, thereby helping userspace load the correct UCM configuration. Usually machine drivers uses their own name as the sound card name (short name), and leave the long name and driver name blank. This API will use the DMI info like vendor, product and board to make up the card long name. If the machine driver has already explicitly set the long name, this API will do nothing. This patch also allows for further differentiation as many devices that share the same DMI name i.e. Minnowboards, UP boards may be configured with different codecs or firmwares. The API supports flavoring the DMI name into the card longname to provide the extra differentiation required for these devices. For Use Case Manager (UCM) in the user space, changing card long name by this API is backward compatible, since the card name does not change. For a given sound card, even if there is no device-specific UCM configuration file that uses the card long name, UCM will fall back to load the default configuration file that uses the card name.
