[PATCH] ALSA: hda/realtek: Enable bass speakers on HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 2024

[Denis Yakovlev]

The HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 2024 (DRA-XX, board M1020, ALC256, SSID
1ee7:204e) has two tweeters and four woofers. The BIOS only configures
the tweeter pin 0x1b; the woofer pin 0x14 is left at 0x411111f0, so the
woofers stay silent.

Pin 0x14 can only be connected to DAC 0x02, while the parser puts the
tweeters on DAC 0x03, which turns the second speaker pair into channels
3/4 that a stereo stream never reaches (and SOF on Meteor Lake only
exposes a 2-channel HDA analog PCM). Configure 0x14 as an internal
speaker and restrict 0x1b to DAC 0x02, so both speaker pairs play the
stereo stream with a shared volume control, as on Windows.

Tested on DRA-XX with SOF (sof-hda-generic-2ch.tplg): woofers and
tweeters play together, headphone auto-mute and the DMICs keep
working.

The fix and this changelog were drafted with an AI assistant (Claude).
I reviewed the change and tested the same fix on the DRA-XX hardware
(applied to the Ubuntu 7.0.0-34 kernel sources): the woofers play
(toggling the new "Bass Speaker" switch audibly removes the bass),
headphone auto-mute and the internal DMICs keep working. Before the fix, pin 0x14
was confirmed as
the woofer output with snd-hda-intel plus a hda-jack-retask override.

Applied to for-next branch now.  Thanks.
