The Lenovo ThinkCenter AIO uses Line2 (NID 0x1b) to implement the
micmute hotkey, here we register an input device and use Line2 unsol
event to collect the hotkey pressing or releasing.

In the meanwhile, the micmute led is controlled by GPIO2, so we
use an existing function alc_fixup_gpio_mic_mute_hook() to control
the led.

Is it mandatory expose this as a key event?  I mean, wouldn't it
suffice just toggle the mic mute by the driver itself?  User-space
will get the notification by the mixer status change in anyway.
We implement it to be an input device just because we need to meet the
X11 requirement, the X11 layer capture the key event instead of mixer
status. After the X11 get the keycode, It will set microphone to mute
from userspace, it is easy to do that by the driver itself, but X11 also
need to know the status change, since the X11 will show up an micmute
OSD according to status change, and needs to save the finial status
before reboot or poweroff. If we don't implement the input device, we
have to modify the X11 layer.
Does the mute button this machine work in that way, too?
There is no mute button on this AIO machine, there is only a micmute button on the right side of the monitor.
