Thank you for reviewing.

I see, no problem. Have a nice trip!

I traced some DAPM codes. The 'get' function as follows:

int snd_soc_dapm_get_enum_double(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol,
        struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol)
{
        //...

        mutex_lock_nested(&card->dapm_mutex, SND_SOC_DAPM_CLASS_RUNTIME);
        if (e->reg != SND_SOC_NOPM && dapm_kcontrol_is_powered(kcontrol)) {
                int ret = soc_dapm_read(dapm, e->reg, &reg_val);

The soc_dapm_read() reads real value of register. It's simple.


But 'put' function is mysterious for me...

int snd_soc_dapm_put_enum_double(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol,
        struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol)
{
        //...

        change = dapm_kcontrol_set_value(kcontrol, val);

        if (e->reg != SND_SOC_NOPM)
                reg_change = soc_dapm_test_bits(dapm, e->reg, mask, val);

dapm_kcontrol_set_value() has stored value into dapm_kcontrol_data. And 
soc_dapm_test_bits() has just checked value of a register and returned need 
update or not. It seems anyone does not update a register in this function.

I tried to change soc_dapm_test_bits() -> soc_dapm_update_bits(), so I can 
change value of register using amixer. But I feel this change was wrong. And I 
found dapm_seq_run_coalesced() calls soc_dapm_update_bits(). Unfortunately 
this function has not been called even if I run amixer.

Anyway, I'll continue to study about DAPM codes.
