[v2,0/3] ASoC: qcom: volume fixes and codec cleanups

Message

To reduce the risk of speaker damage the PA gain needs to be limited on
machines like the Lenovo Thinkpad X13s until we have active speaker
protection in place.

Limit the gain to the current default setting provided by the UCM
configuration which most user have so far been using (due to a bug in
the configuration files which prevented hardware volume control [1]).

Included is also a related fix for the LPASS WSA macro driver, which
was changing the digital gain setting behind the back of user space and
which can result in excessive (or too low) digital gain.

There are further Qualcomm codec drivers that similarly appear to
manipulate various gain settings, but on closer inspection it turns out
that they only write back the current settings. Tests reveal that these
writes are indeed needed for any prior updates to take effect (at least
for the WSA and RX macros).

Changes in v2
 - keep the volume register write on power-on in lpass-wsa-macro
 - drop the other patches removing volume register writes on DAPM events
 - only drop the constant-zero gain offsets in wcd9335
