Purpose of this patch it to allow user to configure that LED. As I wrote
above, when I *changed* "Mic Mute-LED Mode" to "Follow Capture" in
alsamixer, then led is ON when mic is ON. Default configuration (prior
changing anything) in alsamixer is "Follow Mute" when led is ON when mic
is OFF. That patch allows you to change how LED behave.
