The most difference of DP MST +from legacy is that DP MST introduces device entry. Each pin can contain +several device entries. Each device entry behaves as a pin. + +As each pin may contain several device entries and each codec may contain +several pins, if we use one pcm per per_pin, there will be many PCMs. +The new solution is to create a few PCMs and to dynamically bind pcm to +per_pin.
