ASoC: dt-bindings: qcom: sm8250: Document "pin-switches" and "widgets"
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.
