NHLT reports 4 microphones on a number of devices, is there any specific reason to limit the capture to 2ch?
I believe the generic Hdaudio card now reports the number of channels to pulseaudio, so it's possible that PulseAudio would open a 4ch stream but be told sorry no can do by topology.
FWIW we ended-up selecting different topology files in SOF, depending on whether we had 0, 2 or 4 mics.
