Keep the DSPs out of the initramfs, and let the headphone port be chosen

Rebuilding the initramfs on the machine rather than in the build container pulled qcom_q6v5_pas into it. There it probes while the initramfs is still the root filesystem, asks for qcadsp850.mbn, gets -2, and never retries — the same race 10-c630.conf already documents for the Adreno firmware. The ADSP hosts the whole audio path, so the machine comes up with no sound card and a sound device deferring on "error getting cpu dai name", which points nowhere near firmware. The blobs cannot go in the initramfs to fix it: they are ~20 MiB and are extracted from Windows, so they need not exist at build time. Omitting the driver instead means it loads once the real root is there. The modem driver goes with it, since it is not needed early either. Separately, the WCD9340 decides what is plugged in by measuring impedance, so an amplifier on the headphone socket reads as an open circuit and the jack control never leaves 'off'. PipeWire marks the port not available, will not keep it as the default sink, and GNOME hides it — an output that works when driven directly becomes unreachable from the desktop. Dropping JackControl from the Headphones device leaves availability unknown rather than no, and the port becomes permanently selectable.

**The DSPs have to load after the switch to the real root.** `qcom_q6v5_pas`

same race the Adreno firmware loses, and the reason

`overlay/etc/dracut.conf.d/10-c630.conf` omits both remoteproc drivers. The

symptom points nowhere near firmware: the ADSP hosts the entire audio path, so

what you see is no sound card at all and a sound device stuck in deferred

because the q6 DAIs it wants to bind to were never registered. `dmesg` is no

**Headphone detection does not work with an amplifier.** The WCD9340 decides
|
||||
what is in the socket by measuring impedance, which suits headphones (16-32
|
||||
ohm) and not a line input — an amplifier looks like an open circuit, so
|
||||
`Headphone Jack` (numid=108) never leaves `off`. PipeWire takes that as
|
||||
authoritative, marks the port `not available`, refuses to keep it as the
|
||||
default sink, and GNOME hides it from Settings, so a perfectly working output
|
||||
becomes unreachable. The output itself is fine: `speaker-test -D plughw:0,2`
|
||||
(the headphone PCM, MultiMedia3 — the speakers are `hw:0,0`) plays through it.
|
||||
`overlay/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/Qualcomm/sdm845/HiFi-MM1.conf` is a copy of the
|
||||
alsa-ucm file with the Headphones device's `JackControl` line removed, which
|
||||
leaves availability `unknown` instead of `no` and makes the port permanently
|
||||
selectable. The trade is that real headphones no longer switch automatically.
|
||||
Since it shadows a packaged file, an `alsa-ucm` update puts the stock one back
|
||||
and the port vanishes from Settings again.

Unrelated to the hardware, two pieces of routing politics are worth knowing

on a machine like this: PipeWire's RAOP discovery will happily make a
