The addition to alc269_fixup_models[] is nowadays superfluous.  Unless
you need the addition inevitably, try to avoid it.

The Assisted-by tag doesn't need to be specific, just telling
"Assisted-by: LLM" is the preferred.

Last but not least, as this is correcting the existing quirk, please
point out the commit via Fixes tag, too.

Could you resubmit with those corrections?
