If you look at snd_hda_jack_add_kctl(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t
nid, const char *name, int idx) which add kctl and call snd_jack_new if it
is not phantom

It is unlikely snd_jack_new() create those kctl

For mobile phone or tablet , there is one and only one input : headset

for notebook and desktop, there are dual headphone jacks, four line out
jacks for 7.1 surround, line in,

phantom jack for spdif, surround speakers , hp and mic for those desktop
