3.8-rc1 patch_cirrus 4.0 regression...

Hi Takashi,

The v3.8-rc kernels have regressed from v3.7 with the quad-speaker
arrangement on my Macbook Pro 10,1 - only the higher-frequency
speakers work despite the front and rear channels being exposed in the
mixer.

Reverting f37bc7 [1] restored the correct behaviour ([2] was reverted
to compile, but the problem still occurs with only [2] reverted).

How can I help to debug this and find the right approach?

Thanks,
Daniel

ALSA: hda - Give standard "Bass Speaker" mixer for 2.1 speakers

When two built-in speakers are found on the machine, we can suppose
it's rather a 2.1 speaker system with a bass output instead of
front/surround channels.

ALSA: hda - Apply a proper chmap for built-in 2.1 speakers

When 2.1 speakers are detected, use the corresponding channel map
instead of the standard map with front+rear surrounds.
