ASoC: Map missing jack kcontrols
Merge series from Alper Nebi Yasak <alpernebiyasak@gmail.com>: This patchset adds missing jack kcontrols for each independently detectable audio peripheral and maps jack pins to those kcontrols accordingly, with the primary intent to enable/improve jack detection handling in PulseAudio and PipeWire through JackControl UCM values. Usually it's just splitting a joint anything-is-connected "Headset Jack" kcontrol (from [1]) into those like "Headphone Jack" and "Headset Mic" (similar to a previous series for Intel Chromebooks [2]). This split is important to avoid automatically switching to a nonexistent external microphone when a headphone-only device is connected. When the underlying hardware seems to support it, this also adds a "Line Out" kcontrol. This is important in case the hardware can actually support a line-level connection via a different configuration (bypassing output amplifiers?), or simply for userspace to display "Line Out" instead of "Headphones" to the user for connected line-out devices. Beyond the mappings, I had to add PIN_SWITCH card kcontrols and DAPM widgets to avoid "unknown pin" errors on my devices, so tried to do them for all. For Intel devices I saw a pattern of routing things to "Platform Clock" and added to that as well. Looking at patch 5/7 of a Mediatek-related series [3], I can only guess that routes could be further improved, but don't know exactly how for each device. And one more concern is I don't know if the names conflict with any controls from codecs, although I tried to keep to names of existing widgets. As far as I can tell, the root cause for most of why these are missing originates to things being developed for ChromeOS, whose userspace reads the jack input device and doesn't care for these kcontrols. There's non-ChromeOS cases as well, maybe things got copy-pasted around and people didn't need or couldn't figure out how to get more specific than a single jack kcontrol. The secondary intent in this patchset is to fix this *everywhere*, so future copy-pastes result in the right behaviour.

Unfortunately most of it is untested except for a few Chromebooks I have (Kevin, Lick, Hana, Cozmo), because I'm intentionally generalizing to everything.
