Bug description:
  The change of this SRU has been squashed to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-ucm-conf/+bug/1937980.

  [Impact]
  For the machines with sof audio driver, after we freshly install the ubuntu 
linux and plug a microphone or headset-mic to the audio jack, we can't record 
sound through them since the default input volume is 0, users need to adjust 
the input volume to non-zero manually, then could record sound successfully.

  [Fix]
  Backport 1 patch (https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/pull/107), 
after applying the patch, the ucm will set the 'Capture Switch' to on in the 
bootsequence, and set the Capture volume to 60%, then users could record sound 
without manually adjust the input volume.

  [Test]
  sudo rm /var/lib/alsa/*; rm ~/.config/pulse/*; alsactl init; reboot, plug a 
headset to the audio jack, use the headset-mic to record the sound, it could 
record successfully.

  [Where problems will occur]
  This SRU changes the Capture Switch and Capture Volume in the ucm, this could 
make the whole ucm can't be parsed if the syntax is not correct, then the whole 
audio will fail to work like audio jack can't detect plugin/plugout and the 
internal mic can't be found. But this regression possibility is very low since 
we already tested the change on lenovo and Dell machines, all worked well.
