--------------------------
+Stream Domain Widgets
+---------------------
Stream Widgets relate to the stream power domain and only consist of ADCs
(analog to digital converters), DACs (digital to analog converters),
AIF IN and AIF OUT.
Stream widgets have the following format:-
+::
-SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC(name, stream name, reg, shift, invert),

+ SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC(name, stream name, reg, shift, invert),
+ SND_SOC_DAPM_AIF_IN(name, stream, slot, reg, shift, invert)
NOTE: the stream name must match the corresponding stream name in your codec
snd_soc_codec_dai.
e.g. stream widgets for HiFi playback and capture

audio paths within the audio subsystem. They have the following form:-

---------------------------
+Machine domain Widgets
+----------------------
Machine widgets are different from codec widgets in that they don't have a
codec register bit associated with them. A machine widget is assigned to each
machine audio component (non codec or DSP) that can be independently
powered. e.g.
- o Speaker Amp
- o Microphone Bias
- o Jack connectors

+Codec (BIAS) Domain

The codec bias power domain has no widgets and is handled by the codecs DAPM
event handler. This handler is called when the codec powerstate is changed wrt
to any stream event or by kernel PM events.
-2.5 Virtual Widgets

+Virtual Widgets

Sometimes widgets exist in the codec or machine audio map that don't have any
corresponding soft power control. In this case it is necessary to create
a virtual widget - a widget with no control bits e.g.

-===================
+Endpoint Widgets
+================
An endpoint is a start or end point (widget) of an audio signal within the
machine and includes the codec. e.g.

- o Internal Speaker
- o Internal Mic
- o Mic Jack
- o Codec Pins
+* Headphone Jack

Endpoints are added to the DAPM graph so that their usage can be determined in
order to save power. e.g. NC codecs pins will be switched OFF, unconnected
jacks can also be switched OFF.

+DAPM Widget Events

Some widgets can register their interest with the DAPM core in PM events.
