Today, we set up all widgets required for all PCM streams at the time of topology parsing even if they are not used. An optimization would be to only set up the widgets required for currently active PCM streams. This would give the FW the opportunity to power gate unused memory blocks, thereby saving power. For dynamic pipelines, the widgets in the connected DAPM path for each PCM will need to be set up at runtime. This patch introduces a new token, DYNAMIC_PIPELINE, for scheduler type widgets that indicate whether a pipeline should be set up statically during topology load or at runtime when the PCM is opened. Introduce a new field called dynamic_pipeline_widget in struct snd_sof_widget to save the value of the parsed token. The token is set only for the pipeline (scheduler type) widget and must be propagated to all widgets in the same pipeline during topology load. Introduce another field called pipe_widget in struct snd_sof_widget that saves the pointer to the scheduler widget with the same pipeline ID as that of the widget. This field is populated when the pipeline completion callback is invoked during topology loading.

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.
