I got wm8904 as an example. In the driver of wm8904, there is a
control defined as

SOC_DOUBLE_R("Capture Switch", WM8904_ANALOGUE_LEFT_INPUT_0,
            WM8904_ANALOGUE_RIGHT_INPUT_0, 7, 1, 0),

And, there is also its peer in wm8903 defined as

SOC_SINGLE("Left Input PGA Switch", WM8903_ANALOGUE_LEFT_INPUT_0,
          7, 1, 1),

I checked their datasheet and I found there is no difference between
the registers of ANALOGUE_LEFT_INPUT_0. Both of them have one bit for
mute/unmute analog input path. Comparing SOC_SINGLE and SOC_DOUBLE
macro, one snd_soc_control structure is missing in former. What is
exactly the difference between the two definitions. Is there any docs
to describe how could I use these macros in soc.h?
