ALSA: usb-audio: Turn off 'manual mode' on Dell dock
This removes the need to power cycle the Dell WD15 dock if it has been attached to a Windows machine. The Windows driver puts the ALC4020 USB audio controller into 'manual mode', and then does all the power management and other configuration itself, by sending HD audio commands directly to the ALC3263 audio codec via vendor-type USB messages. If manual mode is off, this is all handled by the firmware, and works well enough. If manual mode is turned on, the latency of the SET INTERFACE command goes from several hundred ms to less than 1 ms (see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089467), but I'm not sure if the additional code that would be required is worth it. Funnily enough, the Windows driver tries to turn off manual mode when the dock is disconnected, which doesn't work for obvious reasons. Additionally, fix a bug in dell_dock_init_vol, which didn't work because the Control Selector was missing. Now, it properly resets the volume to 0dB.
