[PATCH 9/9] ALSA: usb-audio: Apply linear volume quirk on MV-SILICON devices

MV-SILICON is a SoC manufacturer producing multifunctional audio SoCs.
Many devices built on top of their SDK share a common quirk that the
Playback and Capture mixers use linear volume with val = 0/4096/1.

The SDK seems to always report "MV-SILICON" for manufacturer string.
Hence, match it so that we don't need to define quirk table entries
separately for each devices. The "val = 0/4096/1" pattern is also
checked against before applying the quirk, in order that the quirk won't
accidentally break unseen variants.

Quirky device samples:
