Massively cutting this thread, since halfway through in my previous reply I realized that maybe hdmi_codec is a much better starting point.

Not sure we're talking about the same. What I had in mind is to add jack status to the hdmi-codec.c stuff, which is used by multiple soc drm display drivers already. Looking at git grep output, there seems to be already some support for dw-hdmi synopsys drm_bridge driver. I thought of extending that. Does that not work for you?
