It does not mean that it's a wrong behavior. When both controls are muted, the
LED should be turned on. It just requires that all inputs are off (and it may
be the default - probably we can set in UCM or so). If you turn the "Capture
Switch" off in amixer / alsamixer, do things work as expected ?

The capture controls are for other inputs like external analog microphone. If
it is required to suppress the MIC LED for some hardware, just skip the
"spec->mic_mute_led = 1" assignment in hda_generic.c . Also, the check
"codec->core.type != HDA_DEV_ASOC" is not sufficient, because you don't know,
if the topology really sets the MIC LED flag.
