I don't think it's that simple.  I saw there are changes pending off
alsa list from Mark Brown including one that Michael took care about
already (NULL regigstration lookups we saw).

I fear we have to dig into the thing enough to understand why the mixer
controls have gone away.

Either it's intentional and wm8753 driver changed to no longer expose
them, or it's accidental and then we are not setting the state of those
hardware elements any more down at the chip with aslactl.

What will give results is build an older version, and add printks to see
where and when these now missing mixer controls get registered.  Then go
back to HEAD and follow the same path until it differs, then we know the
issue.
