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

Hm, this doesn't seem to be the hdmi_codec driver I meant, but another,
new one. I was talking about SND_SOC_HDMI_CODEC.

Hm that still seems entirely separate hdmi-codec specific to dw-hdmi only

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?

Thanks, Daniel
