ALSA: hda - Workaround for silent output on VAIO Z with ALC889

2012-10-02T17:29:53Z

commit e427c2375646789ecd0ccaef1a1e41458559ab2d upstream. On recent kernels, Realtek codec parser tries to optimize the routing aggressively and take the headphone output as primary at first. This caused a regression on VAIO Z with ALC889, the silent output from the speaker. The problem seems that the speaker pin must be connected to the first DAC (0x02) on this machine by some reason although the codec itself advertises the flexible routing with any DACs. This patch adds a fix-up for choosing the speaker pin as the primary so that the right DAC is assigned on this device.

commit 108cc108a3bb42fe4705df1317ff98e1e29428a6 upstream. Also add a model/fixup string "lenovo-dock", so that other Thinkpad users will be able to test this fixup easily, to see if it enables dock I/O for them as well.

stable: Allow merging of backports for serious user-visible performance issues

2012-07-16T16:04:08Z

commit eb3979f64d25120d60b9e761a4c58f70b1a02f86 upstream. Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.
