Update the codec class driver documentation and bring it up to date
with the current code base. This includes API changes, regmap and
multi component.

ASoC Codec Driver
=================
ASoC Codec Class Driver
=======================
The codec driver is generic and hardware independent code that configures the
codec to provide audio capture and playback. It should contain no code that is
specific to the target platform or machine. All platform and machine specific
code should be added to the platform and machine drivers respectively.
The codec class driver is generic and hardware independent code that configures
the codec, FM, MODEM, BT or external DSP to provide audio capture and playback.
It should contain no code that is specific to the target platform or machine.

machine drivers respectively.
Each codec driver *must* provide the following features:-
Each codec class driver *must* provide the following features:-
1) Codec DAI and PCM configuration
2) Codec control IO - using I2C, 3 Wire(SPI) or both APIs
2) Codec control IO - using RegMap API
3) Mixers and audio controls
4) Codec audio operations
5) DAPM description.
6) DAPM event handler.
Optionally, codec drivers can also provide:-

7) DAC Digital mute control.
Its probably best to use this guide in conjunction with the existing codec

2 - Codec control IO
--------------------
The codec can usually be controlled via an I2C or SPI style interface
(AC97 combines control with data in the DAI). The codec drivers provide
functions to read and write the codec registers along with supplying a
register cache:-
/* IO control data and register cache */
void *control_data; /* codec control (i2c/3wire) data */
void *reg_cache;
Codec read/write should do any data formatting and call the hardware
read write below to perform the IO. These functions are called by the
core and ALSA when performing DAPM or changing the mixer:-
unsigned int (*read)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int);
int (*write)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
Codec hardware IO functions - usually points to either the I2C, SPI or AC97
read/write:-
hw_write_t hw_write;
hw_read_t hw_read;
(AC97 combines control with data in the DAI). The codec driver should use the
Regmap API for all codec IO. Please see include/linux/regmap.h and existing
codec drivers for example regmap usage.
