Sorry for resending this mail.
I forgot to use plain text mode in the previous mail.

NACK
I found that I don't need to set card->long_name in common.c because
soc-core.c already sets longname using card->name if
card->long_name is NULL.

        soc_setup_card_name(card->snd_card->longname,
                            card->long_name, card->name, 0);

So we can leave common.c as it is and still get long name.

ACK
I should use "google,sc7180-trogdor" because google is the vendor.

Thank you. I will collect the discussion result to send a v12, and
sync with variant board partners to submit following machine driver
changes.
We will make sure future projects follow this approach
