This looks pretty irrelevant, maybe the bisection went wrong.

Basically the problem is that your BIOS doesn't expose the pin for the
CD input as an available pin.  In alsa-info.sh output, you can see the
pin 0x1c is shown as N/A.

We can override a pin config value manually in such a case.  See
HD-Audio.txt in Documentation/sound/alsa.

In anyway, I'll try to prepare a test patch in the next week.
