Qualcomm SDM845 features a headphone jack via a Qualcomm WCD9340
codec which has jack detection through the wcd-mbhc-v2 driver.

ALSA features 2 ways to expose jack detection from the kernel to
userspace either as an input device or through an ALSA control.
The wcd-mbhc-v2 driver only supports the first option which is
insufficient for userspace programs e.g. PulseAudio [1].
Therefore, ALSA clients such as PulseAudio do not pick up the 
jack detection events as they only support one of the possible 
interface (ALSA control or input interface, but not both). 
Expose the jack events as an ALSA control and input interface 
to provide ALSA clients both interfaces.
