What makes you claim that? Any board with jack detection wired up will call that function. Not all boards have that configured of course but there's absolutely nothing Intel specific about that interface.
Right I'm not claiming the interface is Intel specific, what I'm trying to say is that the need for some code outside of the codec driver to create the jack means that adding jack-support to DT platforms cannot be done through just adding DT properties (once this patch is merged), it will still require platform code changes.
On DT the situation with generic drivers is much better than it is on ACPI so we're actually able to create jacks purely from DT with both the simple and graph cards. This was what drove the creation of the generic jack operation rather than device specific function calls, Bard realized that the device specific calls were all very similar and adding the call allowed the generic cards to work with jacks.
No, that's really not a good idea. Any jacks in the system are part of the system specific wiring, they're not something that's intrinsic to the CODEC. Even with fairly basic setups you've got options like having a headset jack or separate microphone and headphone jacks.
OK, so if doing the jack creation in the machine-driver / platform code is by design and you want to keep things that way, then I assume that what needs changing for v3 of this patch is:
- Split the patch in separate codec + machine-drv patches
- Add comments to make the ordering requirements clear to
both the codec- and machine-driver.
Correct?
Yes, I think so.
Actually I've come up with a nicer way to deal with the ordering issues around setting the device-properties from the machine-driver.
If we attach the properties in the machine-driver *before* calling snd_soc_register_card() and check them from the codec/component driver's probe function (rather then from the i2c_driver.probe function), then there is no need for a codec private apply_properties() function to get the ordering right, since the codec/component driver's probe function is called from snd_soc_register_card().
This still needs some comments in both the codec and machine driver to make sure that future changes don't cause issues, but it gets rid of the ugly apply_properties() function call from the machine-driver.
I'm currently preparing a v3 with this change + other requested changes. I need to re-run a bunch of tests before posting, so I hope to post the v3 series tomorrow.
