Patch against latest openSUSE Leap 42.2 kernel

I have a rare but very nice 8 channel ADC unit that uses the hoontech ice1712
driver. For years I have carried around a special patch that makes this unit
work properly.

First it appears that the MUTE flag must be set in order to unmute the
channels. Second, I enable all box configs. From what I recall these settings
are hard coded, so no option other than patching the code.

During the days when the alsa-driver-kmp was maintained, it was not too
difficult for me to simply link and patch that, but now I need to patch the in
kernel driver which is more of a pain. I'm guessing that maintaining my own KMP
will also be a pain in the long run.

Would be nice to find a way to make these parts runtime configurable or at
least via module configuration.
