[PATCH] Fix mic sound on Jieli webcam

[Marco Giunta]

Hi,
recently I've bought a usb webcam with integrated mic:

  Jieli Technology USB PHY 2.0 (1224:2a25)

The video part works well, but the mic sound is speedups, "like
minions" (cit.). When I connect the camera, these are the dmesg
messages:

kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 8000
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 16000
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 44100
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 48000
kernel: usb 1-8: Warning! Unlikely big volume range (=4096), cval->res
is probably wrong.
kernel: usb 1-8: [3] FU [Mic Capture Volume] ch = 1, val = 0/4096/1
kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

and after a while, dmesg log is filled, every 5 seconds, with:

kernel: retire_capture_urb: 84 callbacks suppressed
kernel: retire_capture_urb: 1714 callbacks suppressed

A guy reports on ArchLinux bug website the same problem
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68141?opened=12995&status%5B0%5D=)
and provides a patch to fix the sound issue. I've applied the patch on
kernel 5.9.13 (Fedora 33 x86_64) and now the mic works, no more
minions voice effect. Now dmesg messages are only:

kernel: usb 1-8: Warning! Unlikely big volume range (=4096), cval->res
is probably wrong.
kernel: usb 1-8: [3] FU [Mic Capture Volume] ch = 1, val = 0/4096/1
kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

the retire_capture_urb messages are gone.

All credits for the patch go to him but I don't know how to contact
that guy nor I don't know if he has already contacted you, so my
question is if you could review his patch and finally apply upstream.

If you need other information or you need a tester, I'm here.

Thanks,
  Marco
