Some sound card setups might require extra pin switches to allow
turning off certain audio components. There are two real examples for
this in smartphones/tablets based on MSM8916:
1. Analog speaker amplifiers connected to headphone outputs.
The MSM8916 analog codec does not have a separate "Line Out" port
so some devices have an analog speaker amplifier connected to one
of the headphone outputs. A pin switch is necessary to allow
playback on headphones without also activating the speaker.
2. External speaker codec also used as earpiece.
Some smartphones have two front-facing (stereo) speakers that can
be also configured to act as an earpiece during voice calls. A pin
switch is needed to allow disabling the second speaker during
voice calls.
There are existing bindings that allow setting up such pin switches in
simple-card.yaml. Document the same for Qcom sound cards.
One variant of example 1 above is added to the examples in the DT
schema: There is an analog speaker amplifier connected to the HPH_R
(right headphone channel) output. Adding a "Speaker" pin switch and
widget allows turning off the speaker when audio should be only played
via the connected headphones.
