    I knew there was a TON of "82" prefix systems from Lenovo so it was an
    educated guess that all of them needed DMIC support. This was incorrect
    because one of them didn't have DMIC and that caused a no mic support
    problem on that system.

    So in the case of this seemingly endless list of systems being added to
    enable DMIC support Mark is right, Windows does it differently.

    With the "next" generation of hardware (Phoenix) both Windows and Linux
    *should* be using the same _DSD, so hopefully we don't need more quirks
    like this for those.
