It will be better described in the v2 patch.

It modifies names like

Headset Earphone Playback Volume
Headset Microphone Capture Switch
Receive Playback Volume
Transmit Capture Switch

to

Headset Playback Volume
Headset Capture Switch

so user space will bind to the headset's audio controls.

Yes, the quirk only modifies the control names that contain certain keywords.
Additional keywords may have to be added to the list in the future.

I figured as much and I am currently testing with the function updated
and moved to mixer_quirks.c and will be triggered by snd_usb_mixer_fu_apply_quirk().
