[RFC][PATCH v4 0/4] design a way to change audio Jack state by software

[Hui Wang <hui.wang@canonical.com>]

the changes in the v4:
 - change the sound-core to sound and change the sound_core_debugfs_root
   to sound_debugfs_root in the 0001-xxx.patch
 - change kzalloc/kfree to kvzalloc/kvfree in the debugfs fops for
   0001-xxx.patch and 0003-xxx.patch
 - And if needed, I could squash 4 patches into 1 patch before merging.

the changes in the v3 (for easy to review, divide change into 4 patches):
 - address the comment about the snd_jack_report() and _snd_jack_report(),
   the v2 design is hard to understand and is hard to review, in the v3,
   separate the jack_report to snd_jack_report() and snd_jack_inject_report(),
   hw jack events call snd_jack_report() as before, if a jack contains multi
   jack_kctl and the jack_kctl's sw_inject is enabled, the status and the
   related input-dev's events will not be reproted. The injection events call
   snd_jack_inject_report(). This change is squashed to 0001-xxx.patch,  the
   rest part of 0001-xxx.patch is same as v2.

 - address the comment about folders'name in the 0002-xxx.patch, so far, drop
   the '/', ',', '=' and ' ' from the folders' name.

 - address the comment about adding more debugfs nodes in the 0003-xxx.patch,
   it adds kctl_id, mask_bits, status and type.

 - address the comment about save-n-restore jack's hw status in the
   0004-xxx.patch, adding a hw_status_cache and save the last reported jack
   hw event, once the sw_inject is disabled, will restore all jack_kctl's
   state under the same snd_jack with hw_status_cache.
[snip]


the changes in the V2:
 - using debugfs instead of sysfs
 - using jack_ctrl to create a folder instead of snd_jack, since ASoC drivers
   could create multi jack_ctrls within a snd_jack
 - create a folder for each jack_ctrl instead for all jack_ctrls
[ snip ]

  alsa: jack: implement software jack injection via debugfs
  alsa: jack: adjust jack_kctl debugfs folder's name
  alsa: jack: add more jack_kctl debugfs nodes
  alsa: jack: implement save-and-restore for jack's hw status
