The big question here would be why these widgets need to be added - the
default thing is that all inputs and outputs are enabled so it can't be
that and as you say callbacks are going to need to be added.

If this is used then it probably makes sense for the card to set the
fully routed flag since one possible use is to disable unconnected pins
on the CODEC.

simple-audio-card.  This also needs more documentation about what is
supposed to be filled in here.

We always use snd_soc.

One interesting thing here is that this is done separately to the card
itself.  Is there any actual dependency on the simple card, could this
be made into a generic library that any machine driver could use?  I can
see other machines being able to make use of this.
