ALSA: update dell-wmi mic-mute registration to new world order Commit c647f806b8c2 ("ALSA: hda - Allow multiple ADCs for mic mute LED controls") changed the return value of the snd_hda_gen_add_micmute_led() without actually updating the callers. Admittedly, almost no callers actually cared about the return value. But one call site very much did: the Dell wmi code. It would see the registration return zero, which _used_ to mean "failed" but now means "success", and clear the dell_micmute_led_set_func pointer. End result: the successful registration would end up calling the Dell code that thought it had all failed, and call through a NULL pointer. To make matters worse, it ends up being a tail-call, and with the retpoline sequence you don't even see the caller (dell_micmute_update()) in the stack trace, so the error ended up way less obvious than it should have been.
