Bug Description

[Impact]
In an oem project, we found the max playback volume of the headphone
is too high on 2 LG machines, it could bring harm to listeners. As
requested by OEM customer, we need to decrease the max volume.

[Fix]
Cherry-pick a mainline kernel patch, this could fix this issue.

[Test]
Booting with the patched kernel, plug the headphone, set the playback
volue to max, run:
amixer -c1 contents | grep -n2 "Headphone Playback Volume"

The value is 77,77 instead of 87,87 like below:
numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Playback Volume'
  ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=2,min=0,max=87,step=0
  : values=77,77

[Where problems could occur]
This patch changes the amplifier's default value, probably
will make the audio malfunction, but this change is specific
to those 2 LG machines (by SSID), will not bring regression
to other machines. For those 2 machines, we already tested patch,
the audio worked well.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.15.0-104.114 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
