This is not specific to DSP but to ALSA (See ALSA topology [1]).
We need the .tplg file in order to describe the support Audio scenario by our board.
This could be defined both by:
board: - e.g our CPU board can have a baseboard attached (so the audio scenario changes). user config: - e.g user wants to enable post processing or any audio component.
I couldnt find a good way to specify this except via DTS. Intel folks derive this information from ACPI tables.
