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 generate DMI name from the
DMI vendor, product and board info, and then make up a unique card long
name from the short name and DMI name. If the machine driver has already
explicitly set the long name, although not observed, 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.

We cant have any tables here or add new data for each machine. The
intention is that the long name should be made from the DMI name (just a
verbatim copy really). That way we dont need to do any new driver
updates for a new machine, we just read the DMI name.

UCM will then try and find a config for the long name first, then will
revert to the current short/driver name to load the existing configs.
This way we dont break legacy or current users.

Hi Liam,

It seems different OEMs may have different flavor to define their DMI info. Directly using verbatim copy may result in too many different long names even for a product series that may share the same config. So I use the table here for a product family to share a single configuration file, which is not the default one with the same name as the card short name/driver name.

Take Dell XPS family for example, there are Boradwell based XPS 13/15 in 2014 and 2015, their product name can be different like: XPS-13-xxxx, XPS-15-xxxx, and xxxx numbers are different for different years. And its board name could also change. I hope they can share the same card long name "broadwell-rt286-Dell-XPS" and the same UCM configuration file. Since XPS 13 and 15 only differ in screen size and GFX, only in audio HW. And xxxx does not matter here.

Although Dell XPS family may always revert to the short name/driver name to use the default UCM configuration file "broadwell-rt286" or "skl-xxx". But there may be other OEM machine family that can share a same UCM config file but not the default one. And I hope when users write a UCM configuration file, the file name could be more user friendly than a pure number.

And actually, the table is an option. If user don't want to define an entry for a specific machine, this function will to the verbatim copy to make the long name in the code below.

+int snd_soc_set_dmi_name(struct snd_soc_card *card, const char *flavour)
+{
+	const char *vendor, *product, *board, *name;
+	char *spos;
+
+	if (card->long_name)
+		return 0; /* already set long name by driver or from DMI */
+
+	vendor = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR);
+	if (!vendor) {
+		dev_warn(card->dev, "ASoC: the DMI vendor name is empty!\n");
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	product = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME);
+	board = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_NAME);
+	if (!board && !product) {
+		/* fall back to using legacy name */
+		dev_warn(card->dev, "ASoC: both board/product name are empty!\n");
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	name = find_dmi_name(vendor, product, board);
+	if (name)
+		snprintf(card->board_name, sizeof(card->board_name),
+			"%s-%s", card->name, name);
+	else
+		snprintf(card->board_name, sizeof(card->snd_card->longname),
+			"%s-%s-%s-%s", card->name, vendor, product, board);
+

Here, if we cannot find a predefined DMI model in the able, we'll do the verbatim copy to make a long name automatically as "shortname-verdor-product-board".

Thanks
Mengdong
