The situation actually seems quite a mess. You can find many drivers not
using DAPM pins by searching for snd_soc_card_jack_new() calls with
num_pins argument is 0. ams-delta-audio is exceptional as it adds DAPM
pins later with snd_soc_jack_add_pins().
They do not have kcontrols for the jacks. The only exception is
skl_hda_dsp_generic which calls snd_jack_add_new_kctl() as my patch
does. Looking at other devices is probably not helpful to find an
alternative in this case.
