It adds soc jack support for alsa kcontrol.
This support is necessary since the new kcontrol is used by user-space daemons, such as PulseAudio(>=2.0), to do jack detection.

No, this makes no sense at all as an ASoC specific feature - it should be a standard feature of ALSA jacks. The whole point of having ALSA core infrastructure for jacks is to avoid having to go round doing make work stuff like this.
The fact that the kcontrols were introduced as a HDA-specific feature at all is of course a problem here...
