This patch adds Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) to ASoC.
Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) is designed to allow portable and
handheld Linux devices to use the minimum amount of power within the
audio subsystem at all times. It is independent of other kernel PM and
as such, can easily co-exist with the other PM systems.
DAPM is also completely transparent to all user space applications as
all power switching is done within the ASoC core. No code changes or
recompiling are required for user space applications. DAPM makes power
switching decisions based upon any audio stream (capture/playback)
activity and audio mixer settings within the device.
DAPM spans the whole machine. It covers power control within the entire
audio subsystem, this includes internal codec power blocks and machine
level power systems.
There are 4 power domains within DAPM:-
1. Codec domain - VREF, VMID (core codec and audio power)
Usually controlled at codec probe/remove and suspend/resume, although
can be set at stream time if power is not needed for sidetone, etc.
2. Platform/Machine domain - physically connected inputs and outputs
Is platform/machine and user action specific, is configured by the
machine driver and responds to asynchronous events e.g when HP are
inserted
3. Path domain - audio subsystem signal paths
Automatically set when mixer and mux settings are changed by the user.
e.g. alsamixer, amixer.
4. Stream domain - DAC's and ADC's.
Enabled and disabled when stream playback/capture is started and stopped
respectively. e.g. aplay, arecord.
All DAPM power switching decisions are made automatically by consulting
an audio routing map of the whole machine. This map is specific to each
machine and consists of the interconnections between every audio
component (including internal codec components).

This patch is the core of ASoC functionality.
The ASoC core is designed to provide the following features :-
o Codec independence. Allows reuse of codec drivers on other platforms
and machines.
o Platform driver code reuse. Reuse of platform specific audio DMA and
DAI drivers on different machines.
o Easy I2S/PCM digital audio interface configuration between codec and
SoC. Each SoC interface and codec registers their audio interface
capabilities with the core at initialisation. The capabilities are
subsequently matched and configured at run time for best power and
performance when the application hw params are known.
o Machine specific controls/operations: Allow machines to add controls
and operations to the audio subsystem. e.g. volume control for speaker
amp.
To achieve all this, ASoC splits an embedded audio system into 3
components :-
1. Codec driver: The codec driver is platform independent and contains
audio controls, audio interface capabilities, codec dapm and codec IO
functions.
2. Platform driver: The platform driver contains the audio dma engine
and audio interface drivers (e.g. I2S, AC97, PCM) for that platform.
3. Machine driver: The machine driver handles any machine specific
controls and audio events. i.e. turning on an amp at start of playback.
