4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 0f174b3525a43bd51f9397394763925e0ebe7bc7 upstream. C-Media devices (at least some models) mute the playback stream when volumes are set to the minimum value. But this isn't informed via TLV and the user-space, typically PulseAudio, gets confused as if it's still played in a low volume. This patch adds the new flag, min_mute, to struct usb_mixer_elem_info for indicating that the mixer element is with the minimum-mute volume. This flag is set for known C-Media devices in snd_usb_mixer_fu_apply_quirk() in turn.
