So what you are suggesting is to do something along these lines ? :

1. Drop the MFD instantiated arizona-extcon device
2. Move the extcon code to something more like a library
3. Have the various codec drivers call into the library
   at various points
4. Have the library call snd_soc_card_jack_new,
   snd_soc_jack_report, etc. ?

That works for me, but I would like to make sure we are all on
the same page here before spending time on coding this solution.

Hans
