Pop noise when headset is plugged in or removed from GHS/Line-out jack

[Jesse Sung]

== SRU Justification ==

* Impact:
There's unpleasant pop noise when headset is plugged in or removed from GHS/Line-out jack.

* Fix:
Issue can be fixed by these four patches. All of them are accepted by upstream.
- 4d4b0c52 - ALSA: hda/realtek - Add unplug function into unplug state of Headset Mode for ALC225
- d1dd4211 - ALSA: hda/realtek - Disable headset Mic VREF for headset mode of ALC225
- 136824ef - ALSA: hda/realtek - Add support headset mode for DELL WYSE AIO
- da484d00 - ALSA: hda/realtek - Add support headset mode for New DELL WYSE NB

* Testcase:
Connect/remove a headset to/from the jack and see if there's noise.

* Risk of Regression:
Low since these patches only affect specific platforms.

[Jesse Sung (wenchien)]

The first two patches, 4d4b0c52 and d1dd4211, are in 5.0-rc2.
The other two are in 5.1-rc1.

We have 136824ef and da484d00 in Disco kernel through stable kernel updates.
