can't record sound via front headset port on the Dell Precision 3630

[Hui Wang]

[Impact]
The Dell Precision 3630 is a desktop computer, it has only one front headset
jack on it, after we plug a headset in it, we can't record sound via the
headset-mic.

And Realtek told us that "This platform was the fixed type headset only for
iphone type. Fixed type headset was not run for default headset mode rule.
It's hardware fixed type solution. Don't need to run software headset mode.
Hardware layout not support UAJ functions."

And Realtek submitted this patch to fix this problem.

[Fix]
With this patch, the driver only set pin 0x19 as the headset-mic and will not
call alcxxx_headset_mode init function anymore since the circuit is hardware
fixed to be iphone-type headset-mic.

[Test Case]
Boot up the system, and plug a iphone-type headset, record the sound via
headset-mic, it can record the sound and sound quality is pretty good.

[Regression Potential]
Very low, this patch is only specific to precision 3930 (subsystem id:
0x10280871 and 0x10280872).

This bug is awaiting verification that the 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-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

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.
