It's on LKML.

This should have been already fixed in the latest Linus git tree.
Please give it a try.

Could you run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option on both working and
non-working kernels?  The script is found in
	http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh

I guess it's either a missing GPIO or a HP-ctrl off by jack sensing.
In the latter case, it implies that the pin configuration is basically
wrong and has worked incidentally...
