I had considered the differences among every boards. If you want add some board specific dapm widgets or other features, you can use the extended interface to add them. If a board has too much differences, you can separate it from this driver and implement it independently. Now there are four same driver files in alsa-devel tree and there are another three same drives waiting to be pushed. So I think this shared diver is needed. After reading all of the suggestions, I reworked the driver and will send it again. This new version has a better difference-tolerance ability.
