Hmm, I must have missed this. It's great that you try to implement kctl jacks for ASoC, but your actual implementation seems to regress HDA, unless I'm missing something.
In particular, the phantom jacks currently show up in the kctl jack layer only, not in the /dev/input layer, and I prefer to keep it that way in order not to pollute the /dev/input layer with phantom jacks. But it looks like these will just disappear (?!) with your patch, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you elaborate?
We shouldn't be hacking individual drivers to support whatever random subset of userspace interfaces some system decides it wants to use - that isn't making anyone happy. If we want to have the ability to customize which userspace interfaces appear it seems better to put that in the core code so individual drivers don't need to worry about it, from that point of view unifying the interfaces should be progress.
