Parts of my comment was the reference to ALC269 when this is an ALC700,
but it seems the two parts are identical if I understand this
definition well:	

ALC269_TYPE_ALC700,

The other point was the reference to Dell when this isn't a Dell
platform. ALC269_FIXUP_DELL1_MIC_NO_PRESENCE may do the job but so far
it's only used for Dell platforms, so it's a bit confusing.

usually this comes inside the patch with a git commit title and message.
