The handle is a NULL handle at "\". Should I use acpi_get_handle(NULL,
"\\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0", &handle)?  EC0 is a acpi device HID:PNP0C09.

Even if it was done in init phase, we still need to check what acpi
method should be used and based on that and micmute status we set the
arguments args[0] and args[2], args[1] is the pin value. We could check
these using event_guid, but that would assume the methods exist for
each guid.
For example, if event_guid == MBX_EVENT_GUID, then method SPIN should
be used.
