Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: patch_realtek: handle unset external amp bits

From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@...hat.com>

Commit ef5dbbcc removes the default initialization of init_amp to
ALC_INIT_DEFAULT, with the justification that it should be set by
alc_subsystem_id, which contains a switch case:

        tmp = (ass & 0x38) >> 3;        /* external Amp control */
        switch (tmp) {
        case 1:
	...
	case 5:
	}

Which handles values 1,3,7 for GPIOs, or 5 to set _DEFAULT.

But... what if it's 0? :)

I got a bug report this morning from a user whose sound had broken
between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35, and I bisected it down to this commit.

[ 32.366183] ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:1374: realtek: Enabling
init ASM_ID=0x8a05 CODEC_ID=10ec0888

(0x8a05 & 0x38) >> 3 = 0;

But otherwise the SKU looks fine (since if I revert that commit, it
seems to work correctly.)

I think the best thing to do would be to either restore the 'redundant'
default initialization, or quirk it.
