Hmm...Sorry for asking a stupid question that how to test bypass path with
WM8962? I've tried some amixer commands to enable the bypass-path switches.
But we still need to power the Codec up like using arecord or aplay to call
wm8962_resume() and DAPM-related, right?

Sir, could you please share a simple flow for user space so that I can test
and make the patch more comprehensive?

Thank you,
