Not really. As explained in the comment in DAPM patch, this enables will be effective (burn mW) only after respective IO is taken out from STANDBY mode. DAPM takes care of managing STANDBY mode for all IOs and ADC/DAC. I know this way of handling low power mode is bit non-trivial, but it is what is recommended by chip designers. Actually Mark was also initially confused with this and requested to put enough documentation into code. After that I tried explaining the logic in source code comment in DAPM patch. Let me know if it is not clear and doesn't convey clearly what is should.
That'd be fine but there's no DAPM code in the patch, only code to unconditionally enable on init.
