[ Upstream commit ac1ff574bbc09a6c90f4fe8f9e6b8d66c983064c ]

The mute and mic-mute LEDs on HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-es0xxx
(PCI SSID 103c:88b3) do not work with the current driver.

This model requires a combination of COEFBIT and GPIO fixups to
correctly control the LEDs. Introduce a new fixup function
alc245_fixup_hp_envy_x360_mute_led and add a quirk to apply it.

## Analysis

### Commit Message Analysis

This commit adds a hardware quirk for the HP ENVY x360 Convertible
15-es0xxx laptop (PCI SSID 103c:88b3) to enable mute and mic-mute LED
control. The commit message clearly states that the LEDs "do not work
with the current driver" — this is a real hardware issue for users of
this specific laptop model.

### Code Change Analysis

The change consists of three parts:

1. **New fixup function** (`alc245_fixup_hp_envy_x360_mute_led`): A
trivial 6-line wrapper that calls two existing functions:
- `alc245_fixup_hp_mute_led_v1_coefbit()` — already exists in the
driver
- `alc245_fixup_hp_gpio_led()` — already exists in the driver

This is the same pattern used by other similar quirks like
`alc285_fixup_hp_spectre_x360_mute_led` (which combines
`alc285_fixup_hp_mute_led_coefbit` +
`alc285_fixup_hp_gpio_micmute_led`).

2. **New enum entry** (`ALC245_FIXUP_HP_ENVY_X360_MUTE_LED`): One-line
addition to the fixup enum.

3. **Fixup table entries**:
- One entry in `alc269_fixups[]` mapping the enum to the function.
- One `SND_PCI_QUIRK` entry in `alc269_fixup_tbl[]` matching the PCI
SSID `0x103c:0x88b3`.

### Classification: Hardware Quirk

This falls squarely into the **QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS** exception
category for stable kernels. Audio codec quirks (specifically
`SND_PCI_QUIRK` entries in `patch_realtek.c` / `alc269.c`) are one of
the most commonly backported types of changes. They:

- Fix real hardware for real users (HP ENVY x360 owners)
- Only affect the specific device matched by the PCI SSID
- Cannot cause regressions on any other hardware
- Use well-established, proven infrastructure

### Scope and Risk Assessment

- **Lines changed**: ~15 lines of actual code (trivial)
- **Files touched**: 1 (`alc269.c`)
- **Risk**: Extremely low — the new function only calls existing, well-
tested functions; the quirk only activates on one specific laptop
model
- **Regression potential**: Near zero — no existing behavior is modified
for any other device

### User Impact

Users of the HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-es0xxx cannot control their
mute LEDs without this quirk. This is a functional deficiency — the LED
indicators don't reflect the actual mute state, which is a usability
issue.

### Dependencies

The commit depends on `alc245_fixup_hp_mute_led_v1_coefbit` and
`alc245_fixup_hp_gpio_led` existing in the driver. These are well-
established functions present in stable trees that support the ALC245
codec.

### Stability Indicators

- Accepted by Takashi Iwai (HDA subsystem maintainer)
- Follows the exact same pattern as dozens of other HP quirks in the
driver
- Contributed by a user who tested it on their own hardware

### Conclusion

This is a textbook hardware quirk addition — small, safe, device-
specific, using existing infrastructure, fixing a real hardware issue
for real users. Audio codec quirks like this are among the most routine
and lowest-risk stable backports.
