No, you should be passing the full set of capabilities for the jack in
when you call snd_soc_jack_new().  It's not possible to change the
capabilities dynamically at runtime, these need to be fixed when
registering the jack.

You've not said where you did this but the API for configuring button
types is snd_jac_set_key().  BTN_0 should be being used as a default
when the jack is registered if nothing has been explicitly configured
(see snd_jack_register()).  If you're not specifying the capabilities as
your above issue suggests this won't happen.
