I don't see any relevant about the incorrect volumes by the suggested
commit, but at least we should avoid applying the quirk for a
non-existing speaker pin.

Jerry, yours is with CX11970 (codec id 0x14f120d0), right?

Werner, how about your Sirius models?  Are they also with the same
codec chip?  If they are different, we can have the additional checks
for judging whether to apply the pincfg fix or not.
