Handling the Component Device State
***********************************
-Utility function ``comp_set_state()`` should be called a component code at
-the beginning of its state transition to verify whether the trigger is valid
-in the current state and set a new state accordingly to the state diagram.

.. uml:: images/comp-dev-states.pu
+ :caption: Component Device States
-READY
- This is an initial state of a component device once it is created.
-
-PREPARE
- Transition to this state is usually invoked internally by the component's
- implementation of the ``prepare()`` handler.
-
-ACTIVE, PAUSE
- Transitions to these states is caused by external trigger passed to the
- component's implementation of the ``trigger()`` handler.
+Refer to ``comp_set_state()`` in :ref:`component-api` for details.
