I am not following your suggestion. The machine drivers for I2S/TDM
platforms are typically based on specific headphone codecs, and they we
add possible swaps for amplifiers. The key to find a machine is
typically the headphone HID. Exhibit A for this in your own contribution
in the recent weeks with the sof_cs42l42.c machine driver.

Are you suggesting we unify e.g. sof_rt5682.c and sof_cs42l42.c?

The other problem is that today we have one main HID along with
'quirk_data' for amplifiers. If we have alternate HIDs, what would be
the rule for quirk_data? Can the quirks apply to all possible alternate
HIDs? Only one of them?

Without an example where this new alternate ID is used it's hard to see
what the ask and directions might be.

Care to elaborate?
Thanks!
