one thing I'm not sure about is the naming though.

The ucm profiles most likely are board-specific and looking at the other alsa 
ucm subdirs, they really are named after their boards (like daisy-i2s for 
some exynos chromebooks). Hogging ROCKCHIP-I2S for veyron chromebooks seems 
wrong especially wrt. other Rockchip devices. Shouldn't this be named 
VEYRON-I2S or so instead - same on the kernel side probably.
