For instance, from the SGTL5000 codec Spec:
----
The analog input block contains a stereo line input and a microphone input
with mic bias. Either input can be routed to the ADC. The line input can also
be configured to bypass the CODEC and be routed directly to the headphone
output.
----
And in the SGTL5000 codec driver there is one "Mic Bias" widget, and this
should be routed to one off-CODEC widget, like "Mic Jack"(the microphone input).

Some drivers may need like this:
----
         SND_SOC_DAPM_PGA_E("Output Amp", SND_SOC_NOPM, 0, 0, NULL, 0,
                         XXX_output_amp_event, SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMU |
                         SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMD),
----
 ?

Yes, if needed.

No, has no dependency on the simple card.
