There is no other possibility for ACPI. And while the components string is
part of the ALSA ABI, it should not be changed in an incompatible way. Only
new information should be added. The DT solution seems more flexible to me.
For example the stereo/mono speaker or the AIF number can be set without the
driver modification for rt5640.
