[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - Fix inverted internal mic not indicated on some machines

[David Henningsson]

The create_bind_cap_vol_ctl does not create any control indicating
that an inverted dmic is present. Therefore, create multiple
capture volumes in this scenario, so we always have some indication
that the internal mic is inverted.

This happens on the Lenovo Ideapad U310 as well as the Lenovo Yoga 13
(both are based on the CX20590 codec), but the fix is generic and
could be needed for other codecs/machines too.

Thanks to Szymon Acedański for the pointer and a draft patch.

I think this fix is safe enough to send to Linus and stable, but will leave the
final judgement to Takashi.
