[PATCH v2 09/12] ASoC: doc: dapm: fix and improve section "Registering DAPM controls"

From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Fri Apr 26 2024 - 12:58:38 EST


Extend the first paragraph to mention the {,num_}dapm_routes fields just
like the widget conterparts. Mention the route fields also in the code
example. Fix "at build time", this really means "at probe time".

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()
