In case there is one "Headphone Jack" and one "Dock Headphone Jack", one of them will get an index, even though that is not needed. This patch fixes that issue.

Applied. This one doesn't need to go to stable, right?
Good question. I guess it depends on how we look upon kcontrol indices in general.
PulseAudio never picks anything up if it has an index, therefore it becomes a real problem/bug for users. (Not sure if one could argue that this is a problem in PulseAudio rather than the kernel. Haven't thought that through.)
OTOH, if the reasoning is that you would break custom made scripts that depend on this index, i e it becomes a change of behaviour.
To be pragmatic about it, the chances that people are depending on this index being non-zero are probably very low, so I don't mind sending this one to stable.
