Don't design your binding around some driver architecture. Limitations
of ASoC are not reasons for your binding.

For DP and HDMI, we assume HPD is supported generally as that's a
standard function for HDMI/DP controllers. There's a 'no-hpd' property
for cases of broken HPD. That hardware description is part of the
device HPD is connected to which is the HDMI/DP controller/bridge or
the connector node in the case of a GPIO line. That doesn't belong in
the virtual sound card.

I would assume a codec to be similar. The codec node (the alc5682
node) should have any jack related properties (or possibly implicitly
support it by default).

I was thinking more of a case of having 2 of the same thing. Perhaps 2
HDMI outputs. Or if you have DP instead of HDMI? Just going to add
'dp-jack'?
