I've sent the patch again with two follow-up patches for the changes to machine driver
and the enumeration. Currently the sof-rt5682.c supports two headphone codec drivers,
rt5682 and rt5682s, enumerated by different HID. So we need to duplicate all the entries
in enumeration tables and board configs in machine driver to support rt5682s. By adding
an extra field id_alt to the enumeration table, we just need to modify existing entries
instead of creating new ones.

For amplifier, I think we can implement an new machine_quirk function to support multiple
amplifier HID.
