+Each codec driver must have a struct snd_soc_dai_driver to define its DAI and

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.
