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.
