Yes, at least that's how I understood Motorola's code.

Motorola's driver provided the following modes:

OMAP4 <-> CPCAP      (voice recording)
MDM6600 <-> CPCAP    (voice call, CPU not involved)
OMAP4 <-> WL1285     (bluetooth HFP/HSP)
MDM6600 <-> WL1285   (bluetooth voice call)

In case of the last two variants, the bus clock is provided by
CPCAP, so it needs to be enabled for any audio stream. I suppose
the codec <-> codec as part of TDM is out of scope for the graph
card and we need a Droid 4 specific card driver?
