on a current Thinkpad X1 Yoga, this breaks the LED functionality on the
audio- and mic-mute buttons. While the buttons still work, the LEDs are
permanently off and do not reflect the mute state any more.

Reverting this patch restores the LED functionality.

Here, even without this patch, there is no click/pop noise noticeable
when using headphones.
