Yes, except that some codec drivers customize these callbacks for specific
register encodings (e.g. snd_soc_dapm_put_volsw_aic3x). By chance, only the put
callbacks seem to have been customized so far.

What is the point of having customizable get/put callbacks if
dapm_set_path_status() ignores them and duplicates their core behavior?

In the aic3x example, the bit-field is actually a mixer volume control, and not
only a boolean, so I was planning to post a fix for that. The issue is that the
encoding of register values for this volume has holes that should not be
duplicated in userspace raw values, so custom get and put callbacks have to be
used here that will not be compatible with snd_soc_dapm_get_volsw(), which will
be blocking for dapm_set_path_status(). Do you have a simple solution for that?

Yes, and there is another issue: kcontrol may not be available for get at this
point.

In the meantime, please find below a quick patch for the consistency issue.

[PATCH] ASoC: dapm: Fix dapm_set_path_status() connect

dapm_set_path_status() sets connect incorrectly in the case max > 1 with invert.
In that case, the raw disconnect value should be max, which corresponds to the
userspace value 0.

This use case currently does not appear upstream, but it could break
SOC_DAPM_SINGLE() or SOC_DAPM_SINGLE_TLV() elsewhere or in the future.

This patch completes commit 3a9abe8.
