SubjectRe: [PATCH 04/11] MFD: twl4030-audio: Add DT support

Yes, the idea in it's core is generic, but right now I can not think of a
generic implementation which would work.
In case of twl4030 this is how it looks like:

1. if extmute is requested
1.1. if GPIO number is not valid
Use the internal MUTE functionality (HS_POPN_SET register, EXTMUTE bit)
1.2. if GPIO number is valid
set the GPIO to 1
2. Execute the sequence for the power up/down
3. if extmute is requested
3.1. if GPIO number is not valid
Use the internal MUTE functionality (HS_POPN_SET register, EXTMUTE bit)
3.2. if GPIO number is valid
set the GPIO to 0

For other devices it could be simpler:
1. Set GPIO for mute
2. Toggle a bit in the codec
3. Clear the GPIO to unmute

another device would need a sequence in step 2 instead of a single bit change.

To cover all of this in a generic way is not that straight forward IMHO.

Which flag you are referring?
I can (and have dropped) the hs_extmute_disable_level flag, but separate
hs_extmute, hs_extmute_gpio is needed for this device.

hs_extmute tells that the board implemented some sort of HS extmute functionality.
hs_extmute_gpio tells if the board is _not_ using the built in functionality,
but it is using external GPIO line to enable/disable the mute.

Sure I could do this:
hs_extmute: if only this is set we shall use the chip built in functionality
hs_extmute_gpio: if this is set we use the extmute feature but with external
GPIO.

But both need to be documented and supported.
