Subject: [snd_hda_intel] snd_hda_intel causes high CPU lockup and system
 instability if mic disabled in BIOS on Lenovo P50

My Lenovo P50 laptop has a BIOS option to disable the microphone. When 
this option gets chosen, the snd_hda_intel driver causes high CPU load on 
a single kworker thread, spinning on "process_unsol_events", and system
instability. This behavior occurs from the time that the snd_hda_intel
module is loaded, irrespective of whether anything is attempting to access
the mic. The sound output still works.

When in this state, the module cannot be removed cleanly; attempting to
remove it (even without rmmod -f) triggers an oops.

I have attached two exemplary dmesg outputs. Strangely enough, the exact
location of the oops varies, but further up the call chain, I always see
process_unsol_events.

When the mic is not disabled in the BIOS, the module works stable,
regardless whether or not the mic is muted in ALSA.

I wasn't able to pinpoint the root cause. Any pointers on where to
start? Much appreciated.

Best regards
Alexander
