commit f128090491 upstream.
This codec (among others) has a hidden set of audio routes, apparently
designed to allow PC Beep output without a mixer widget on the output
path, which are controlled by an undocumented Realtek vendor register.
The default configuration of these routes means that certain inputs
aren't accessible, necessitating driver control of the register.
However, Realtek has provided no documentation of the register, instead
opting to fix issues by providing magic numbers, most of which have been
at least somewhat erroneous. These magic numbers then get copied by
others into model-specific fixups, leading to a fragmented and buggy set
of configurations.
To get out of this situation, I've reverse engineered the register by
flipping bits and observing how the codec's behavior changes. This
commit documents my findings. It does not change any code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
