Thank you very important information. So you mean value 5, 6, 7 are
illegal settings for ES8316. Correct codes are

static const SNDRV_CTL_TLVD_DECLARE_DB_RANGE(hpmixer_gain_tlv,
0, 4, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(-1200, 150, 0),
8, 11, TLV_DB_SCALE_ITEM(-450, 150, 0),
);

and...

SOC_DOUBLE_TLV("Headphone Mixer Volume", ES8316_HPMIX_VOL,
0, 4, 15, 0, hpmixer_gain_tlv),

Is my understanding correct? If so I'll test it on my board
(RockPro64) and re-send patch.

BTW, do you know how to get ES8316 I2C registers spec?
I want to see it for understanding current code, but I cannot find...
