I have added a new patch with propper documentation.
And I would like to use 3 and 4 for shared boost as 
CS35L41_EXT_BOOST_NO_VSPK_SWITCH already exist as 2 and is used in the 
current driver.
The laptop that uses CS35L41_EXT_BOOST_NO_VSPK_SWITCH doesn't have the 
property "cirrus,boost-type", but to make everything consistent I would 
prefer to use 3 and 4 for the new boost types.
Is that ok with you?

Thanks
