Hi,

The whole point of DAPM (dynamic audio power management) is that you don't 
have to manually power up or down a widget. Userspace configures the routing 
of the audio paths and the kernel automatically detects which parts of the 
chip need to be powered up for the current routing configuration.

Why do you want to manually enable a widget?
