Unless it's a pre-release platform, I think it's worth mentioning in commit
message what the hardware is.

If it's pre-release, then perhaps mention "pre-release vostro platform" here.
This is useful information in case in the future something in this driver must
change for a full class/line of systems.

As a nit, please declare variables on their own line and I don't like is_micmute_exist
as this is bad grammar.

Perhaps "micmute_exists" instead.

Also this variable can be a boolean type instead with it's usage.
