So I was wondering if there is a way to have a headphone switch without tying it to a card, while userspace will still know what to do ?
You can make a GPIO input device but obviously can't have anything reporting through the sound card interface without a sound card.
Ok, so I could make the driver generate evdev events of type EV_SW with code SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT. Does userspace do anything useful with this like automatically switching between headphones and speakers as a headphone-jack which is part of the sound card would do ?
If not, then is there a way to get a list of registered soundcards from a driver, then pick one of the cards based on some heuristics and then do the snd_soc_card_jack_new, etc. on the picked card?
I assume that the approach from: https://github.com/me176c-dev/kernel_asus_me176c/commit/498116d7e7b4718fa065...
Where the struct snd_soc_card byt_rt5640_card is made non-static and exported is not acceptable ?
