The generic parser accepts the preferred_dacs[] pairs as a hint for assigning a DAC to each pin, but this hint doesn't work always effectively. Currently it's merely a secondary choice after the trial with the path index failed. This made sometimes it difficult to assign DACs without mimicking the connection list and/or the badness table. This patch adds a new flag, obey_preferred_dacs, that changes the behavior of the parser. As its name stands, the parser obeys the given preferred_dacs[] pairs by skipping the path index matching and giving a high penalty if no DAC is assigned by the pairs. This mode will help for assigning the fixed DACs forcibly from the codec driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
