I had a look into the code, and concluded that it is too complex for anyone
who doesn't know it to find a proper fix. For example, for an outsider it
is not conceivable (or explained) why the ground switch is enabled only
to be disabled immediately afterwards if a jack was removed.

This is now the top crash reason on affected Chromebooks (so far I
identified Asus C424, HP SeaStar, and HP StingRay) with this patch
applied. I am inclined to revert it from all ChromeOS kernel branches.
At least for us the cure for the problem is much worse than the problem
itself.
