I guess both of these methods are acceptable and there is no inherent
preference for one over another.

I see. Thanks for the insight.

I am looking at SOC_DAPM_SINGLE_W in wm8903.c, SOC_WM8350_DOUBLE_R_TLV
in wm8350.c and SOC_TWL6040_DOUBLE_TLV in twl6040.c as reference
examples. Respective xxx_get_xxx() methods are what you are trying to
point me to, right?
