Hrmpf, that's no use.  I'll add it - it'd be good if you could report
stuff like this when you find it, you've got several workarounds for
core code in here.

OK, then this mode selection is fine.

Prefixes of "Headset" on the ones that apply to that?  Or the comment,
this is only really visible internally.

In what sense?  For an overview of the various APIs Linux Device Drivers
is probably still good: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3

The negations, the nesting and the lack of any reporting of failures.
Probably just calling all the functions one after another and logging
any errors would be OK.

Userspace applications are a separate issue - it looked like this was
just for diagnostic purposes?  Obviously any user space applications
using the GPIO interface will be limited to your device but that applies
no matter where you put this code.

There's at least a driver for the WM8350 headphone detection (possibly
others, I'd need to grep) and an awful lot of hardware which could use
this in-codec.  TLV320AIC3x has some code that ought to be moved over to
the standard framework too.

No need if you're not changing it.
