We've got a regression report for some Thinkpad models (at least T570s) which shows the too low speaker output volume. The bisection leaded to the commit61fcf8ece9("ALSA: hda/realtek - Enable Thinkpad Dock device for ALC298 platform"), and it's basically adding the two pin configurations for the dock, and looks harmless. The real culprit seems, though, that the DAC assignment for the speaker pin is implicitly assumed on these devices, i.e. pin NID 0x14 to be coupled with DAC NID 0x03. When more pins are configured by the commit above, the auto-parser changes the DAC assignment, and this resulted in the regression. As a workaround, just provide the fixed pin / DAC mapping table for this Thinkpad fixup function. It's no generic solution, but the problem itself is pretty much device-specific, so must be good enough.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
