The exact definition for the event, which I'm forcing above: SOC_SINGLE("Speaker Playback Switch", WM8940_SPKVOL, 6, 1, 1), And there is no SOC_SINGLE_AUTODISABLE() macro available. The issue I'm trying to fix: - The mclk clock is stopped (after some time) by imx SOC when I end 'speaker-test' program with ctrl+c. - When the clock is not provided (after ~1sec) I do hear a single short noise from speakers. - The other solution (which also works) would be to enable clock once (during probe) and then do not disable it till system is powered off (yes it is a hack :-) ). I'm wondering if this can be fixed by some 'amixer' user space switch? Thanks in advance for help.
