To be honest I'm not 100% sure why this is done this way,
this is how *all* ASoC drivers do it (AFAICT).

I think it is done this way because of 2 reasons:

1. The pins controlled by the jack are what for lack of
a better word I call "end-point" pins. And these get
registered by the machine-driver, so to make sure that
the names match it makes sense to also declare the
snd_soc_jack_pin array in the machine-driver.
For example the "Headphone" pin is a widget registered
by the machine driver as:

        SND_SOC_DAPM_HP("Headphone", NULL),

2. Probe ordering, the jack gets attached to the card and
when the coded driver's probe function runs the card does
not exist yet. But I think that could be worked around by
doing things in the component-probe function.
