Have you try the latest snapshot tarball ?

Does the internal dmic work ?

since the auto-mic detection conflict with retasking mic to support 5.1
as the driver still don't know whether you are plug the external mic
or speaker to the jack since jack detection does not check the
impedence

The problem is snd_hda_parse_pin_def_config() put internal speaker to
spec->line out

it look like stac92xx_auto_create_multi_out_ctls()  can create "Mic
jack" switch to retask mic as output

static int stac92xx_auto_create_multi_out_ctls(struct hda_codec *codec,
					       const struct auto_pin_cfg *cfg)
{
	struct sigmatel_spec *spec = codec->spec;
	hda_nid_t nid;
	int err;
	int idx;

	err = create_multi_out_ctls(codec, cfg->line_outs, cfg->line_out_pins,
				    spec->multiout.dac_nids,
				    cfg->line_out_type);
	if (err < 0)
		return err;

	if (cfg->hp_outs > 1 && cfg->line_out_type == AUTO_PIN_LINE_OUT) {
		err = stac92xx_add_control(spec,
			STAC_CTL_WIDGET_HP_SWITCH,
			"Headphone as Line Out Switch",
			cfg->hp_pins[cfg->hp_outs - 1]);
		if (err < 0)
			return err;
	}

	for (idx = 0; idx < cfg->num_inputs; idx++) {
		if (cfg->inputs[idx].type > AUTO_PIN_LINE_IN)
			break;
		nid = cfg->inputs[idx].pin;
		err = stac92xx_add_jack_mode_control(codec, nid, idx);
		if (err < 0)
			return err;
	}

	return 0;
}
