Patches are on its way to add a config file to alsaucm for the Nyan

I'm not convinced that removing the board-specific compatible value is a
great idea. What if we find we need to distinguish between different boards
that use this same binding in the future. That situation is exactly why we
have board-/SoC-specific values in compatible even if we don't immediately
use them.
I understand the need of naming each component variant so they can be
distinguished in the future, but in this case it's the exact same hw.
That's not true. These are two different boards that are derived from
the same base design. The intent may be that they are the same, but the
whole point of board-specific compatible values is to cover the case
where mistakes and exceptions appear later.
Fair enough.
- nvidia,model = "Acer Chromebook 13";
+ nvidia,model = "GoogleNyan";
I believe this also technically breaks ABI, since some user-space tools use
the model to look up saved state. Can we not leave this as is, and just have
the UCM files know about both names?
Well, "A13" isn't a great card id. Given that there's no users yet, I
would prefer to take this chance to put a sane value in there. Btw,
alsa-lib has now a UCM config for this and it uses the GoogleNyan card
id (has been picked up already by OpenSUSE).
"A13" didn't appear anywhere, did it? Perhaps that was a shorthand for
"Acer Chromebook 13". Yes, I agree we should use the user-visible model
number here; "Acer CB5" or perhaps "Acer CB5-xxx" whatever xxx actually is.
Ok, so we can go with Acer-CB5-311 for the nyan big.
Unfortunately there doesn't exist a single product id that corresponds
with the nyan blaze, but at least four: K4K83UA, K4K11UA, K4K78UA and
K4K23UA. The commercial name of the series that contain a blaze board is
"HP Chromebook 14 G3", but that doesn't fit in the card id field (16 byte).
Oh, the 16-byte limit is rather annoying:-( Some of our existing DT
files don't fit into that limit.
What do you think of using GoogleNyanBig and GoogleNyanBlaze? Or maybe
just NyanBig and NyanBlaze? IMO it's more important that the card ids
correspond 1-to-1 to the hw than their recognizability, as it's not
something that end users will be messing with.
I'm not entirely sure that the user won't ever see those values; don't
some X11 GUI tools display them? Still, as you say there isn't too much
we can do, so since these names are unique/complete I figure they're OK.
