Since the alsa tests for the function by toggling the bit and reading it back to see if it changed, it mistakenly creates a useless control. This patch explicitly removes the control when the codec is an STAC9708/11. I put the check in patch_sigmatel_stac9708_specific(), because I have an SBLive with this chip on it. I don't know if the STAC9758 or other codecs also behave this way. If they do, then this check could maybe go in patch_sigmatel_stac97xx_specific(), or some other more general function.
