[PATCH 1/5] ASoC: Docs: Update codec documentation

[Liam Girdwood <liam.r.girdwood@linux.intel.com>]

Update the codec class driver documentation and bring it up to date
with the current code base. This includes API changes, regmap and
multi component.

 2 - Codec control IO
 --------------------
 The codec can usually be controlled via an I2C or SPI style interface
-(AC97 combines control with data in the DAI). The codec drivers provide
-functions to read and write the codec registers along with supplying a
-register cache:-
-
-	/* IO control data and register cache */
-	void *control_data; /* codec control (i2c/3wire) data */
-	void *reg_cache;
-
-Codec read/write should do any data formatting and call the hardware
-read write below to perform the IO. These functions are called by the
-core and ALSA when performing DAPM or changing the mixer:-
-
-    unsigned int (*read)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int);
-    int (*write)(struct snd_soc_codec *, unsigned int, unsigned int);
-
-Codec hardware IO functions - usually points to either the I2C, SPI or AC97
-read/write:-
-
-	hw_write_t hw_write;
-	hw_read_t hw_read;
+(AC97 combines control with data in the DAI). The codec driver should use the
+Regmap API for all codec IO. Please see include/linux/regmap.h and existing
+codec drivers for example regmap usage.
