It's been reported that a number of laptops have a low volume

AMD offers a register that can adjust the gain for PDM which is not
configured at maximum gain by default.

To fix this change the default for all 3 drivers to raise the gain
but also offer a module parameter. The module parameter can be used
for debugging if the gain is too high on a given laptop.

This is intentionally split into multiple patches for default and
parameter so that if the default really does behave better universally
we can bring it back to stable too later.

v2->v3:
* Use clamp and clear properly
