[ALSA] ac97 - Add a workaround for broken quirk for VT1617A codec
On boards with VT1617A codec, the sound disappears suddenly. This looks like a problem with HPE-bit control that is supposed to be set in patch_vt1617a(). However, on such problematic hardwares, the bit is actually reset mysteriously. The patch adds a workaround for the wrong quirk. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
