[SRU][OEM-5.6][PATCH 0/2] alsa: the output volume can't be adjusted on the Lenovo machines with Bass speaker

[Hui Wang]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931649

These 2 patches are already in the ubuntu 5.8.0-generic and later
version kernels, but they are not in the oem-5.6 oem kernel yet.

[Impact]
Users could adjust the speaker's output volume from UI, but the sound
doesn't change with the user's adjustment.

[Fix]
Backport 2 upstream patches, these patches are merged to 5.8.0-generic
with stable update, but not in 5.6-oem yet.

[Test]
run amixer contents | grep DAC1, we could see the DAC1 mixer control
is found, adjust the speaker's volume from gnome-sound-setting, then
play some sound, we could hear the sound's volume is changed with our
adjustment.


[Where problems could occur]
This could possibly introduce the speaker output doesn't work anymore
on lenovo machines with dual speakers, but this posibility is very low,
I have tested the patches on 3 different lenovo machines with dual
speakers.
