The tree representation looks better than the previous one, IMO.
The exact contents would need more brush up, though; e.g. the content
of each jack could be shown in a debugfs node as well as the
injection.  Or the type and the mask-to-be-injected can be shown
there, too.

Yes, that's my impression, too.  The logic is hard to follow.

Right, but I guess this can be ignored.

Or, as I mentioned in the above, we may expose the current value in
each node instead, and writing a value to this node is treated as
injection.  Then the rest requirement is rather masking from the
hardware update.
