[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: hda/generic: Add option to enforce preferred_dacs pairs

[Takashi Iwai]

The generic parser accepts the preferred_dacs[] pairs as a hint for
assigning a DAC to each pin, but this hint doesn't work always
effectively.  Currently it's merely a secondary choice after the trial
with the path index failed.  This made sometimes it difficult to
assign DACs without mimicking the connection list and/or the badness
table.

This patch adds a new flag, obey_preferred_dacs, that changes the
behavior of the parser.  As its name stands, the parser obeys the
given preferred_dacs[] pairs by skipping the path index matching and
giving a high penalty if no DAC is assigned by the pairs.  This mode
will help for assigning the fixed DACs forcibly from the codec
driver.

[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: hda/realtek: Fix bass speaker DAC assignment on Asus Zephyrus G14

[Takashi Iwai]

ASUS Zephyrus G14 has two speaker pins, and the auto-parser tries to
assign an individual DAC to each pin as much as possible.
Unfortunately the third DAC has no volume control unlike the two DACs,
and this resulted in the inconsistent speaker volumes.

As a workaround, wire both speaker pins to the same DAC by modifying
the existing quirk (ALC289_FIXUP_ASUS_GA401) applied to this device.
Since this quirk entry is chained by another, we need to avoid
applying the DAC assignment change for it.  Luckily, there is another
quirk entry (ALC289_FIXUP_ASUS_GA502) doing the very same thing, so we
can chain to the GA502 quirk instead.

Note that this patch uses a new flag of the generic parser,
obey_preferred_dacs, for enforcing the DACs.
