Hi kernel maintainers,

I'm writting to request you to merge a commit into stable kernel
release:

ID: fe0dfd6358a17c79bd7d6996af7512ba452a7059
rt286: add Thinkpad Helix 2 to force_combo_jack_table

I request you to merge this patch into all longterm and stable kernel
branches, i.e. 3.2, 3.4, 3.10, 3.16, 4.1, 4.4, 4.9 and 4.11. The patch
itself is just an additional entry of an array of quirks in a device
driver. It could be applied easily and it fixes a real problem.

This commit has already entered Linux 4.12, but it was a patch that
fixes a troublesome problem of non-functioning headphone output for
Helix 2 Tablet PC users, which exists in all versions of Linux kernels,
causing frustrating user experience on this platform.

Thanks,
Tom Li

Queued for 3.10, though I really doubt anyone is using 3.10 on such
devices.

Thanks,
Willy

Correction: rt286 was first merged into the mainline kernel since
v3.17-rc1, thus this patch should be only applied againist Linux 4.1,
4.4, 4.9 and 4.11.

I apologize for your time. This problem had been here for a long time
and I almost forgot the time it introduced into the kernel...

Thanks,
Tom Li

No pb. Now dropped then ;-)
