Hi Rob, thanks for reviewing.
There was some discussion in
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11737905/#23571643 about how to
specify the dailink that has a headset jack.
I would like to pass the information of headset jack and hdmi jack to
the machine driver so the machine driver can call
snd_soc_component_set_jack to set jack when init the corresponding link.
Headset jack and hdmi jack will be treated differently for button and
event type.
Because of this, we can not just set a property "jack" in the link.

As for the 2 headsets case (I guess you mean hp jack and mic jack), on
this board we will not have this use case.
If someone really wants to build hp jack and mic jack on the board
based on this machine driver, we can add two more property hp-jack and
mic-jack to specify that,
as the machine driver will need to know the different jack types
anyway. What do you think ?

Or could you please suggest a proper way to pass such information ?

Thanks!
