The adc_vol_tlv volume-control has a range from -17.625 dB to +30 dB, not -176.25 dB to + 300 dB. This wrong scale is esp. a problem in userspace apps which translate the dB scale to a linear scale. With the logarithmic dB scale being of by a factor of 10 we loose all precision in the lower area of the range when apps translate things to a linear scale. E.g. the 0 dB default, which corresponds with a value of 47 of the 0 - 127 range for the control, would be shown as 0/100 in alsa-mixer. Since the centi-dB values used in the TLV struct cannot represent the 0.375 dB step size used by these controls, change the TLV definition for them to specify a min and max value instead of min + stepsize.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
