maybe I am mistaken but if you expose a jack, is there not a need to
implement a .set_jack callback in the component driver?

Also if you report a jack then usually there's a difference between
SND_JACK_HEADPHONE and SND_JACK_HEADSET - where the latter case hints at
capture support.

Clearly you don't have capture support for now, so should this be
SND_JACK_HEADPHONE ?

I must say I still don't get how this entire patchset would be used, for
playback userspace *may* use offload but for any sort of voice call then
userspace *shall* rely on the legacy USB card. Is this not a
show-stopper for CRAS or PipeWire?
