Hi Takashi,

We're doing enablement of machines and several of them need pin quirks 
in order to have the headset mic working. Since these machines are 
pre-release, we are not allowed to make the final name of the machine 
public (e g, "Dell XPS 13"). For the same reason, we cannot give you 
alsa-info either.

Given this constraint, how do you suggest we improve the subject / 
description? Or should we wait to submit upstream until the machine has 
been released to the market?
