What's this?  It looks like a boolean which makes u8 an odd choice.

Similarly here.

Why is this platform data rather than a runtime configurable option?

Drop the depends, it doesn't actually do anything for selected items.

I can't help but think that this'd be more legible with switch ()
statements (GCC has an extension for ranges in switch statements which
you could use).

This looks suspiciously close to the standard show_reg() - it seems
wrong that you should need it.

Hrm?  Also, it strikes me that this code is also used in the WCLK
function and might benefit from being factored out - it's moderately
verbose.

I'd be inclined to spell medium out and write "V+" as "Supply" or
similar unless there's a strong reason to do otherwise - it seems more
legible.

Capital letters are more idiomatic for enumerations.

I'm finding these comments a little too verbose but that's just me -
I stop and read them only to find there's nothing odd going on here.

I suspect that fixing the control may break what you're doing here?  It
would certainly bitrot the comment.

This feels like platform data - the use of differential outputs is
normally a property of the physical wiring of the board, it's very rare
to be able to vary this usefully at runtime.

MICBIAS Enable should definitely be DAPM.

These I would expect to be managed in kernel - they're normally either a
property of the board or need to be managed in conjunction with jack
detection code which tends to live in kernel.

A lot of these SWITCH controls feel like they ought to be PGAs and the
switch controls mutes on those.  When muting an output you normally
don't want to power up and down the path since that is slow and tends to
trigger audible issues, you'd normally control the power for path
endpoints and elements that affect routing only.

You have these AIF widgets but at least the DAC input selection was
being done in the regular controls rather than in the DAPM routing.

It surprises me that the ordering matters too much here; worst case you
leave the interface declocked a little longer when you need to switch
sources but that doesn't seem like the end of the world?

I have to say that I'm really not a fan of the ternery operator for
legibility.

...or possibly mute it :)

Since you've got a register defaults table you could skip rewriting
registers which have their default value.

This looks a bit fishy since the mask covers more bits than can ever be
enabled - it reads like the other two bits should be unconditionally
cleared.
