Ok. But in this case changing mic bias does not introduce any problems
as userspace already trying to record from disconnected microphone.

The whole old code for production Nokia N900 devices is there:
https://github.com/pali/linux-n900/blob/v2.6.28-nokia/drivers/misc/nokia-av.c

If it is usual/unusual/crazy/wtf/:-) I can just tell: it is working fine
with that Maemo 2.6.28 production kernel. And there is no documentation
for it, just code. So the best what we can do is reimplement that driver
for mainline kernel and check if it is working. (Then we can maybe start
changing logic if something make sense...).

It is more complicated, but basic idea seems to be:

Use interrupt handler when jack_detection_gpio changes. When 1 --> jack
unplugged (no detection is needed), otherwise plugged and start
detection.

Start: set eci_sw_gpio to 1, enable mic bias, wait 20msec

Detection point 1: if eci0_gpio is 1 then goto Detection point 3

Detection point 2: measure ECI_ADC (thresholds define type) and goto Stop

Detection point 3: set eci_sw_gpio to 0, wait 20msec, if eci1_gpio is 1 then goto Stop (open cable 
was inserted)

Detection point 4: set eci_sw_gpio to 1, disable mic bias, measure ECI_ADC until it stabilize 
(thresholds define type)

Stop: set eci_sw_gpio to 1, revert mic bias

Thresholds for Detection point 2 are defined as:
#define THRESHOLD_GROUNDED	40		// HEADPHONES or line input cable or external mic
#define THRESHOLD_VIDEO_HI	150		// VIDEO_CABLE

Thresholds for Detection point 4 are defined as:
#define THRESHOLD_HEADSET_HI	1000	// BASIC_HEADSET

(probably threshold for basic headset is not correct)

The whole procedure is repeated 5-10 times. If open cable is detected
then eci_sw_gpio is set to 0 and procedure is periodically repeated
after some interval (looking at the code I think that interrupt for
eci1_gpio could be used instead of busy waiting). Optionally if nothing
(= unknown) after 5-10 times is detected then another procedure for ECI
headsets could be used. As Joerg pointed that nokia-av.c code has
incorrect detection for ECI it first needs to be investigated. But it
will need to disable TVOUT (OMAP3430 TV_OUT1 and TV_VFB1 pins).
