Description of problem:
The F6/mute key on the keyboard of HP notebooks often has a built in LED indicator to show if the sound is muted. The LED state is never toggled. It will just retain its state, even though the audio is succesfully muted/unmuted.

Tested with HP Pavilion x360 from 2018.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press mute key on HP laptop

Actual results:
Mute state in software toggles, LED in mute key does not.

Expected results:
Mute state in software and LED in mute key toggle.

Additional info:
This happens on kernel 4.20.8

I'm asking for help to have a server where I can compile. Please give me a few days to generate a patched kernel and confirm that this actually works.

I also have the same problem in my HP Pavilion 15-bc202na. Is there any chance to add it to the list of quircks?
