[ Upstream commit 32fc4168fa56f6301d858c778a3d712774e9657e ]
The ASUS ExpertBook BM1503CDA (Ryzen 5 7535U, Barcelo-R) has an
internal DMIC connected through the AMD ACP (Audio CoProcessor)
but is missing from the DMI quirk table, so the acp6x machine
driver probe returns -ENODEV and no DMIC capture device is created.
Add the DMI entry so the internal microphone works out of the box.

## Analysis: ASoC: amd: yc: Add ASUS EXPERTBOOK BM1503CDA to quirk table
### What the commit does
This is a simple DMI quirk table addition — a 7-line entry adding the
ASUS EXPERTBOOK BM1503CDA to the `yc_acp_quirk_table[]` in
`sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c`. Without this entry, the internal DMIC
(digital microphone) on this laptop is not detected, and the driver
probe returns `-ENODEV`, meaning **no microphone capture device is
created** — the internal mic simply doesn't work.
### Stable kernel criteria assessment
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes — the internal microphone doesn't work on
this specific laptop model without the quirk entry.
2. **Obviously correct and tested**: Yes — it's a trivial DMI match
entry following the exact same pattern as dozens of other entries in
the same table. Reviewed by the AMD audio maintainer (Vijendar
Mukunda).
3. **Small and contained**: Yes — 7 lines added to a single file, no
logic changes whatsoever.
4. **No new features**: Correct — this enables existing hardware support
on a specific device, not a new feature.
5. **Exception category**: This falls squarely under **hardware
quirks/workarounds** — one of the explicitly allowed categories for
stable backports.
### Risk assessment
- **Risk**: Essentially zero. The DMI match is specific to one laptop
model (`ASUS EXPERTBOOK BM1503CDA` from `ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.`). It
cannot affect any other hardware.
- **Benefit**: Internal microphone works on this laptop model.
- **Dependencies**: None — the driver and quirk table infrastructure
already exist in stable trees.
### Verification
- Verified the diff is a pure DMI table entry addition (7 lines) with no
logic changes.
- Verified the entry follows the identical pattern of all other entries
in the table (DMI_MATCH on BOARD_VENDOR + PRODUCT_NAME, driver_data =
&acp6x_card).
- Verified the commit has `Reviewed-by: Vijendar Mukunda
<Vijendar.Mukunda@xxxxxxx>` (AMD audio subsystem reviewer).
- The file `sound/soc/amd/yc/acp6x-mach.c` and the `yc_acp_quirk_table`
have existed in stable trees — this is a mature driver with many
similar quirk entries.
### Conclusion
This is a textbook stable backport candidate: a hardware quirk addition
that enables an internal microphone on a specific laptop. Zero risk,
clear user benefit, trivially correct.
**YES**
