[PATCH] ALSA: hda/realtek: Add quirk for Asus Zephyrus G14 2025 using CS35L56, fix speakers

[Aleksandrs Vinarskis]

Just like GA403U, this GA403W needs to remap woofers to DAC1. Similarly to
other Asus devices, headphones/headset MIC is not working, however the pin
config alone is not enough to fix it.

From Windows dump of GA403W:
  0x12, 0x90a60140 # Correctly set by codec out of the box
  0x13, 0x90a60550
  0x14, 0x90170510
  0x17, 0x90170120 # Correctly set by codec out of the box
  0x19, 0x03a11050 # Set by ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_GA403U_HEADSET_MIC
  0x1a, 0x411115F0
  0x1b, 0x03a11c30 # Set by ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_GA403U_HEADSET_MIC
  0x1d, 0x40663A45 # Correctly set by codec out of the box
  0x21, 0x03211430

Even with all the values set, MIC of the jack is not detected. Until a
complete solution is found, set ALC285_FIXUP_ASUS_GA403U_HEADSET_MIC
for GA403W which fixes audio volume control for woofers. No need to
create new quirk with missing pin config just yet, since its not
making the situation better.

Thanks, I see it now landed in linux master. If possible, it would be nice to have it in 6.18, 6.17 stable as well - would you like me to submit backport separately, or would you be able to pick it directly?

I hope AUTOSEL would pick it up, but if you want to be sure, just ask
Greg & co (via stable ML) to suggest the upstream (Linus tree) commit
id to cherry-pick and tell which stable kernels to be backported.

And, if the fix is intended for stable kernels, at the next time, just
put "Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>" line around your Signed-off-by
line in the patch.


thanks,

Takashi
