Leaving microphone bias off is a valid setting and even used in the DT
binding document example. Add this setting here and document the same.

This doesn't make much sense.  If we enable the microphone with a
voltage of 0V that's not going to work terribly well - I'd expect this
property to control the voltage set when it's enabled, not if it's
enabled.

I agree about this not making much sense, but I'm not sure the right way
forward here.

Personally I wouldn't have put MicBias voltage in DT to begin with, it
is runtime configurable and depends on user runtime inserted microphone,
not really a hardware description :/

The enable/disable is controlled by a DAPM and should be wired to enable
whenever we are recording from the related microphone pin. So then
without MICBIAS_OFF the user is forced to select from the above voltages
whenever recording, which may not be correct if they are using a mic
that doesn't need bias.

The best option I think would be to drop this from DT, but I don't feel
like fighting that battle right now.

Usually the system as a whole is specified to have some particular kind
of microphone attached (or soldered in) and this follows from that.
There's typically also soldered down analogue components that are
selected based on the bias voltage so a specific system likely won't
have the full flexibility.

That'd depend on someone having a board that was able to detect that a
line input was plugged in or a user control for this.  If the board was
permenantly set up for line input presumably the bias wouldn't even be
wired up.
