[PATCH v3 02/17] ASoC: dt-bindings: Add support for the GPIOs driven amplifier

[Herve Codina <herve.codina@bootlin.com>]

Some amplifiers based on analog switches and op-amps can be present in
the audio path and can be driven by GPIOs in order to control their gain
value, their mute and/or bypass functions.

Those components needs to be viewed as audio components in order to be
fully integrated in the audio path.

gpio-audio-amp allows to consider these GPIO driven amplifiers as
auxiliary audio devices.

+description: |
+  Audio GPIO amplifiers are driven by GPIO in order to control the gain value
+  of the amplifier, its mute function and/or its bypass function.
+
+  Those amplifiers are based on discrete components (analog switches, op-amps
+  and more) where some of them, mostly analog switches, are controlled by GPIOs
+  to adjust the gain value of the whole amplifier and/or to control
+  the mute and/or bypass function.
+
+  For instance, the following piece of hardware is a GPIO amplifier
+
+                                         +5VA
+                                           ^

+      GPIOs to control the amplifier gain
+
+      The gain value is computed from GPIOs value from 0 to 2^N-1 with N the
+      number of GPIO described. The first GPIO described is the lsb of the gain
+      value.
+
+      For instance assuming 2 gpios
+         gain-gpios = <&gpio1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH> <&gpio2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+      The gain value will be the following:
+
+          gpio1 | gpio2 | gain
+          ------+-------+-----
+            0   |    0  | 0b00 -> 0
+            1   |    0  | 0b01 -> 1
+            0   |    1  | 0b10 -> 2
+            1   |    1  | 0b11 -> 3
+          ------+-------+-----
+
+      Note: The gain value, bits set to 1 or 0, indicate the state active (bit
+            set) or the state inactive (bit unset) of the related GPIO. The
+            physical voltage corresponding to this active/inactive state is
+            given by the GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH and GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flags.

+
+      Ranges can be contiguous or holes can be present between ranges if some
+      gpios value should not be used. Also in a range the first point and the
+      last point can be identical. In that case, the range contains only one
