1) for the unsolicited event , different tags have to be assigned for six
different jacks

This mean that the driver need to define FRONT_MIC_EVENT, REAR_MIC_EVENT,
LINE_IN_EVENT in addition to HP_EVENT

Can  snd_jack_report used to report the mic event of two pink jacks (front
panel and rear panel) of the desktop to the user space program?

2) when the jack is plug in or out. , snd_hda_jack_detect() work with
no_trigger_sense=1 to detect jack presence but the driver get several
unsolicited responses with no_trigger_sense=0

3) snd_hda_pin_sense() need trigger sense to get the Impedance
it usually get the value of 0x7FFF,FFFF and need to wait for a while to get
the sense measurement

(all1’s) indicates that a valid sense reading is not available, or the sense
measurement is busy if it has been recently triggered
