By mic detection you thought this was to detect if a mic was present or not?
It's to detect the noise level on a mic and raise an event if the captured
sound is above a specific threshold level. Apologies if that wasn't clear.

In the driver code I'm using KEY_VOICECOMMAND, and simulating a press and
release of this key, to indicate to user-space. This seemed like the obvious
choice for this feature to me, although I'd happily get your opinion on this.
