OK, good - the fact that the connection wasn't being made with the PMIC
was my main point here.

I understand what the code does.  My point is that it looks like it's
in the wrong place - it'd seem nicer (and to open up more optimisation
opportunties to manage the clock in the audio driver).

So you're using an external ADC to measure the current draw on micbias
as part of your jack sense.  Again, this feels like something that ought
to be managed along with the rest of the audio code.
