patch_realtek.c has historically failed to properly configure the PC
Beep Hidden Register for the ALC256 codec (among others). Depending on
your kernel version, symptoms of this misconfiguration can range from
chassis noise, picked up by a poorly-shielded PCBEEP trace, getting
amplified and played on your internal speaker and/or headphones to loud
feedback, which responds to the "Headphone Mic Boost" ALSA control,
getting played through your headphones. For details of the problem, see
the patch in this series titled "ALSA: hda/realtek - Set principled PC
Beep configuration for ALC256", which fixes the configuration.
These symptoms have been most noticed on the Dell XPS 13 9350 and 9360,
popular laptops that use the ALC256. As a result, several model-specific
fixups have been introduced to try and fix the problem, the most
egregious of which locks the "Headphone Mic Boost" control as a hack to
minimize noise from a feedback loop that shouldn't have been there in
the first place.
Now that the underlying issue has been fixed, remove all these fixups.
Remaining fixups needed by the XPS 13 are all picked up by existing pin
quirks.
This change should, for the XPS 13 9350/9360
- Significantly increase volume and audio quality on headphones
- Eliminate headphone popping on suspend/resume
- Allow "Headphone Mic Boost" to be set again, making the headphone
jack fully usable as a microphone jack too.

This codec (among others) has a hidden set of audio routes, apparently
designed to allow PC Beep output without a mixer widget on the output
path, which are controlled by an undocumented Realtek vendor register.
The default configuration of these routes means that certain inputs
aren't accessible, necessitating driver control of the register.
However, Realtek has provided no documentation of the register, instead
opting to fix issues by providing magic numbers, most of which have been
at least somewhat erroneous. These magic numbers then get copied by
others into model-specific fixups, leading to a fragmented and buggy set
of configurations.
To get out of this situation, I've reverse engineered the register by
flipping bits and observing how the codec's behavior changes. This
commit documents my findings. It does not change any code.

[ This is rather a revival of the patch Tomas sent in months ago, but
applying only with the quirk model option -- tiwai ]
Hard coded coefficients to make Huawuei Matebook X right speaker
work. The Matebook X has a ALC298, please refer to bug 197801 on
how these numbers were reverse engineered from the Windows driver
The reversed engineered sequence represents a repeating pattern
of verbs, and the only values that are changing periodically are
written on indexes 0x23 and 0x25:
0x500, 0x23
0x400, VALUE1
0x500, 0x25
0x400, VALUE2
* skipped reading sequences (0x500 - 0xc00 sequences are ignored)
* static values from reverse engineering are used
NOTE: since a significant risk is still considered, this is provided
as an experimental fix that isn't applied as default for now. For
enabling the fix, you'll have to choose huawei-mbx-stereo via model
option of snd-hda-intel module.
If we get feedback from users that this works stably, we may apply it
per default.
