Kai-Heng Feng 5a445f805a ALSA: hda/realtek: Reduce the Headphone static noise on XPS 9350/9360
[ Upstream commit 1099f48457 ]

Headphone on XPS 9350/9360 produces a background white noise. The The
noise level somehow correlates with "Headphone Mic Boost", when it sets
to 1 the noise disappears. However, doing this has a side effect, which
also decreases the overall headphone volume so I didn't send the patch
upstream.

The noise was bearable back then, but after commit 717f43d81a ("ALSA:
hda/realtek - Update headset mode for ALC256") the noise exacerbates to
a point it starts hurting ears.

So let's use the workaround to set "Headphone Mic Boost" to 1 and lock
it so it's not touchable by userspace.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
