+DAPM is based on two basic elements, called widgets and routes:
-There are 4 power domains within DAPM

+ software when in use and disabled to save power when not in use
+ * a **route** is an interconnection between widgets that exists when sound

+All DAPM power switching decisions are made automatically by consulting an

+different components (e.g. the LINE OUT pin of a CODEC and the input pin of
+an amplifier).

+Registering DAPM controls
+=========================
+
+In many cases the DAPM widgets are implemented statically in a ``static
+const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget`` array in a codec driver, and simply
+declared via the ``dapm_widgets`` and ``num_dapm_widgets`` fields of the
+``struct snd_soc_component_driver``.
+
+Similarly, routes connecting them are implemented statically in a ``static
+const struct snd_soc_dapm_route`` array and declared via the
+``dapm_routes`` and ``num_dapm_routes`` fields of the same struct.
+
+With the above declared, the driver registration will take care of
+populating them::
+
+ static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget wm2000_dapm_widgets[] = {
+ SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT("SPKN"),
+ SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT("SPKP"),
+ ...
+ };
+
+ /* Target, Path, Source */
+ static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route wm2000_audio_map[] = {
+ { "SPKN", NULL, "ANC Engine" },
+ { "SPKP", NULL, "ANC Engine" },
+ ...
+ };
+
+ static const struct snd_soc_component_driver soc_component_dev_wm2000 = {
+ ...
+ .dapm_widgets = wm2000_dapm_widgets,
+ .num_dapm_widgets = ARRAY_SIZE(wm2000_dapm_widgets),
+ .dapm_routes = wm2000_audio_map,
+ .num_dapm_routes = ARRAY_SIZE(wm2000_audio_map),
+ ...
+ };
+
+In more complex cases the list of DAPM widgets and/or routes can be only
+known at probe time. This happens for example when a driver supports
+different models having a different set of features. In those cases
+separate widgets and routes arrays implementing the case-specific features
+can be registered programmatically by calling snd_soc_dapm_new_controls()
+and snd_soc_dapm_add_routes().
