This series is being resurrected after several years, and it's quite different from before, so I'm restarting the version numbers :) ThinkPad volume and mute controls are a mess. For whatever reason, ThinkPads have mute buttons that send KEY_MUTE *and* control an invisible-to-ALSA mute switch. Some of them have volume controls that interact with this switch as well. This is a perennial source of problems. On most ThinkPads, if you press mute and then unmute using GUI controls, you have no sound, because userspace and ALSA state gets out of sync with the hardware switch. There's a separate "sound card" that exposes the hardware switch, but userspace code generally doesn't understand that. There are already a few _OSI(Linux) overrides to turn all the hardware buttons into regular buttons. Rather than quirking ACPI everywhere, just teach thinkpad-acpi to program the buttons for full software control and to disable hardware controls. That allows us to remove the ACPI quirks and have normal mute controls. This approach should be much simpler than adding even more kludgey ALSA integration for questionable gain. Tested on an X200s (with latching mute by default) and an X220 (with a mute light and toggle mute by default). Everything works as expected. Changes from v2: - Don't try to change the mute mode on IBM ThinkPads. - Further minor cleanups. - Try to restore the mode on module unload. Changes from v1: - Simplified the code a bit. - Improved suspend/hibernate behavior.
