** Description changed:

- This bug is for tracking purpose.
+ [Impact]
+ In the ubuntu 20.04, we plan to integrate alsa-ucm-conf-v1.2.1.2
+ or alsa-ucm-conf-v1.2.2, in the ucm2, adding a new element to
+ tell pulseaudo the number of dmics on this machine, this needs kernel
+ to export the number via component.
+ Without these 2 patches, the pulseaudio will fail to initialize
+ on Lenovo X1 Carbon since this machine has 4 dmics.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ Backported the patches from mainline kernel v5.6-c1
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Install the sof-firmware v1.4.2
+ Install the master branch of alsa-ucm-conf (focal will integrate it too)
+ Install the master branch of pulseaudio (focal will integrate it too)
+ boot the kernel with these patches, check the gnome-control-center,
+ all audio function work well.
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Risk]
+ Low, the patches are backported from upstream kernel, and I tested
+ this patch on Lenovo and Dell dmic machines. And after merging
+ these 2 patches, the kernel still could work with old firmware
+ and ucm.
