0 = Internal Boost
1 = External Boost
+ 2 = Reserved

How binding can be reserved? For what and why? Drop. 2 is shared active,
3 is shared passive.
2 Is shared boost without VSPK switch, a mode not supported for new
system designs. But there is laptops using it, so we need to keep
supporting in the driver.

That's not the answer. 2 is nothing here, so it cannot be reserved.
Aren't you mixing now some register value with bindings?

I have added a new patch with propper documentation.
And I would like to use 3 and 4 for shared boost as CS35L41_EXT_BOOST_NO_VSPK_SWITCH already exist as 2 and is used in the current driver.
The laptop that uses CS35L41_EXT_BOOST_NO_VSPK_SWITCH doesn't have the property "cirrus,boost-type", but to make everything consistent I would prefer to use 3 and 4 for the new boost types.
Is that ok with you?

Thanks
