This problem did not occur until approximate Linux 3.9-rc1.

Because the pincfg isn't always reliable, as you know ;)

Well, I think is_jack_detectable() is rather a helper to be moved to
hda_codec.c, i.e. its functionality is independent from what else in
hda_jack.c. In other words, I don't think we want to tie it with
hda_jack stuff (at least in the current form of hda_jack.c
infrastructure).

I guess this was blocked by the mail server due to a too big
attachment...
