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.
