I think Jaroslav's suggestion of matching DMI is reasonable. Only special platforms should use this feature. Non-dell or some old dell platforms should not use this feature if I understand correctly based on https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg118123.html In the above link, Mario said the MIC LED is controlled by HW, not the SW. So the codec driver won't control MIC LED. It means on other platforms which doesn't support the feature of HW controlling LED, using the new kcontrol in UCM will cause some issues. When user press the MIC mute key, the MIC LED won't change the status.
