[ Upstream commit 8ec017cf31299c4b6287ebe27afe81c986aeef88 ]

The HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx (subsystem ID 0x103c8dc9) has an internal
DMIC connected to the AMD ACP6x audio coprocessor. Add a DMI quirk
entry so the internal microphone is properly detected on this model.

Tested on HP Laptop 15-fc0237ns with Fedora 43 (kernel 6.19.9).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Record: The file is extremely actively maintained with a steady stream
of DMI quirk additions — this is exactly the pattern. The author appears
to be a first-time contributor for this specific laptop.

**Step 3.3-3.5:** This is a standalone data-only addition with no
dependencies. It doesn't reference other commits and doesn't require any
prerequisites.

Record: [Standalone, no dependencies, applies cleanly to any tree
containing this file]

## PHASE 4: MAILING LIST (abbreviated — clear-cut case)

The patch was accepted by Mark Brown (ASoC maintainer) and merged. The
Link tag confirms it went through normal review.

Record: [Accepted by subsystem maintainer Mark Brown]

## PHASE 5: CODE SEMANTIC ANALYSIS

The change is purely a data table entry addition. No functions are
modified. The DMI matching infrastructure is well-established kernel
code. The `acp6x_card` driver_data is the same used by all other
entries.

Record: [No code logic changes, data-only table entry]

## PHASE 6: STABLE TREE ANALYSIS

**Step 6.1:** The acp6x-mach.c file and the yc_acp_quirk_table have
existed since the AMD Yellow Carp platform support was added. This file
exists in stable trees.

**Step 6.2:** The patch adds an entry at the beginning of the table,
which may cause minor offset conflicts with other quirk additions, but
the resolution would be trivial.

Record: [File exists in stable trees] [Trivial backport, possible minor
context conflict]

## PHASE 7: SUBSYSTEM AND MAINTAINER CONTEXT

- Subsystem: ASoC (ALSA SoC) / AMD audio drivers
- Criticality: IMPORTANT (audio is a key user-facing feature on laptops)
- Maintainer: Mark Brown (well-known, prolific ASoC maintainer) accepted
the patch

Record: [ASoC/AMD audio] [IMPORTANT — affects laptop users] [Accepted by
maintainer]

## PHASE 8: IMPACT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

**Step 8.1:** Affected users: owners of HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx (specific
hardware model)
**Step 8.2:** Trigger: always — internal mic doesn't work at all without
this entry
**Step 8.3:** Failure mode: no internal microphone on this laptop —
functional hardware is unusable. Severity: MEDIUM-HIGH (audio input
completely broken for this model)
**Step 8.4:**
- Benefit: HIGH — makes internal mic work on a specific HP laptop model
- Risk: VERY LOW — 7-line data table addition, affects only this one
laptop model, cannot cause regression on any other system

Record: [Benefit: HIGH] [Risk: VERY LOW] [Ratio: strongly favors
backporting]

## PHASE 9: FINAL SYNTHESIS

**Step 9.1: Evidence Summary**
FOR backporting:
- Classic DMI quirk addition (exception category: hardware
quirk/workaround)
- 7 lines, data-only, zero code logic changes
- Tested on real hardware by the author
- Accepted by ASoC maintainer Mark Brown
- Fixes a real user-facing issue (internal mic not working)
- Identical pattern to dozens of other entries in the same file
- Zero regression risk

AGAINST backporting:
- (None)

**Step 9.2: Stable Rules Checklist**
1. Obviously correct and tested? **YES** — tested on hardware, trivial
data addition
2. Fixes a real bug? **YES** — internal mic not detected
3. Important issue? **YES** — hardware not functional without it
4. Small and contained? **YES** — 7 lines in one file
5. No new features/APIs? **YES** — just enables existing driver for new
hardware
6. Can apply to stable? **YES** — trivial apply

**Step 9.3: Exception Category**
This is a **hardware quirk/workaround** (DMI match table entry) — an
automatic YES category.

## Verification
- [Phase 1] Parsed commit message: DMI quirk for HP Laptop 15-fc0xxx
internal DMIC
- [Phase 2] Diff: +7 lines, data-only addition to yc_acp_quirk_table[],
identical pattern to existing entries
- [Phase 3] git log: file has 15+ recent commits all adding similar DMI
quirk entries
- [Phase 3] Standalone commit, no dependencies
- [Phase 7] Mark Brown (ASoC maintainer) accepted the patch
- [Phase 8] Risk: zero regression risk, data-only change affecting one
laptop model
- [Phase 9] Falls into hardware quirk exception category

**YES**
