[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/7] ASoC: TWL4030: put the codec to off when not active

Hello,

The following series at the end will let the twl4030 codec to use BIAS_OFF
instead of BIAS_STANDBY.
The difference in power consumption is about 0.5mA.

To achieve this:
- The regcache has been reseted to codec default
- The codec initialization has been optimized, it is no longer writes all 73
  registers at startup, but only modifies few selected one.
- The power related code has been cleaned up, and optimized
- Support added for machine drivers to select the offset cancellation path
- debug support for checking the codec default registers (machine drivers can
  ask for checking, but shall be disabled in production).

I guess that's it.
The driver has been tested on a custom board with twl5031. It passed all of our
internal test cases covering much of the codec features.
