Depends on what you mean by "control".
They declare that a digital link is, or is not, active so that the related
amplifiers, DACs, etc can be powered up or down.

The "VIF_TRI_EN" puts the digital interface in 'tristate' mode which
effectively disables it.  So that bit certainly "controls" the digital link.


If I shouldn't have these controls here, where should I have them?  How
should I turn on/off the widgets that drive the VOICE interface?

You say it looks like "a machine driver issue".
alsa/soc/machine.txt says that "machine" is a synonym for "board".
I thought we were getting rid of board files and replacing them with
devicetree.  You seem to be implying that we are keeping board files (under
the name "machine driver") for the audio config.

Is that correct?  What is the reason for that?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
