Hi Pierre,

This patch is for the same issue discussed in the following thread:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11134167/

We enable the runtime channel merge for the DMIC DAI instead of adding a
machine driver constraint. It's working good on chrome's 3.14 branch (which
requires some backport for the runtime channel merge feature). Please let
me know if this implementation is correct for the FE/BE mismatch problem.
Thanks.


Regards,
Brent
