It's definitely unclear, there's a datasheet at [1] which does appear to
explicitly call for a 512ms delay though (see figure 20 on page 50).  It
does look like it should only be applied in the case where an inserted
jack is detected (ie, when identifying an accessory or button press) and
not when removal is detected though.

It smells like there's a power benefit to leaving it disabled when
unplugged (which seems plausible), and possibly like the detection is
more stable with the ground switch enabled.  The ground switch is not
documented AFAICT (it's in register 0xfb which isn't named and doesn't
appear to appear in the datsheet from a quick search).  The code is
leaving the switch enabled so long as an accessory is plugged.

Are you saying this is actually crashing, or just that you're getting
warnings about threads being blocked for too long (that was what was
posted earlier in the thread)?  The only things I can see that look like
they have the potential to actually lock up are the cancel_work_sync()
calls but they were unchanged and the backtrace you showed was showing
the thread in the msleep().  My guess would be that you've got systems
where there are very frequent jack detection events (potentiallly with
broken accessories, or possibly due to the ground switch putting things
into the wrong priority) and that the interrupt is firing again as soon
as the thread unmasks the primary interrupt which means it never
actually stops running.

It's possible that reordering things so that the delay is only applied
if DA7219_JACK_INSERTION_STS_MASK is set would help, that'd need some
motion of the interrupt acking as well.  That's probably a good idea in
general, it's what the datasheet seems to call for and would lead to
prompter removal detection.  However if the issue is systems with broken
accessories constantly firing spurious button events they'd still be
seeing the delay.

My other guess would be that moving the delay that's been added to a
delayed work would avoid the warnings, though you might want to manually
keep the physical interrupt disabled while that's running which is fun.
Possibly also tuning down the delay given that as you say 500ms is
rather a long potential delay even in the context of jack debounces,
though if it is bad accessories then there's probably a bit of luck
involved in the original code not triggering issues and any debounce is
likely to cause fun, and like I say the datasheet does seem to say that
this is the appropriate delay.

You'd end up with something along the lines of

	disable_irq();
	schedule_delayed_work(delay, current_irq_code);

in the IRQ handler then call enable_irq() on the way out of the new
delayed_work.  That would keep the same flow but not look like the task
is running which should avoid setting off the hung task alarm.
