[Fix] Backport 1 commit (https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/pull/109), after applying the commit, the ucm conf file doesn't initialize the codec with hardcoded mixer names anymore, it will check the existence of the mixer name first, then conditionally initialize the codec. [Test] sudo rm /var/lib/alsa/*; alsactl init; reboot, play the sound from internal speaker, the speaker works well. [Where problems will occur] The change only affects the rt1316 codec, so far, that codec only connects to the internal speaker on Dell soundwire sdca audio machine, so it could introduce regression on the internal speaker like users can't output sound via internal speaker anymore on the Dell soundwire sdca audio machine. But this possibility is very low since we already tested the commit on the Dell soundwire sdca audio machine. We tested it with old kernel and new kernel, all worked well.
