Yes.

Sure, that's perfectly fine - jack detection is also very common.

Given jack detection I don't think you can base this purely on the CODEC
part of the device.

It seems easy enough to check if the device is active and it's very
common for drivers to do this (wm8994 has an example) - for most uses
you should be able to check pm_runtime_is_enabled() and there should
just be a single bitfield you can look at to figure out if jack
detection was running.  Looking at the extcon driver briefly
ARIZONA_JD1_ENA looks hopeful.
