[SOLVED] mic led behavior on dell laptop

I have led indicating muted microphone on F4 key (Dell Latitude 5400). By default It's on when mic is muted and off when mic is active.
On certain kernels there is a dedicated mixer control with options "follow mute" and "follow capture" which can invert led behavior.
Mentioned control presents on lts and 5.13 kernels, but is absent on 5.14! No snd-hda-intel options was altered (my option is model=dell-headset-multi), just kernel upgrade. I tried to use different options (and no options), that doesn't works.
What is the cause of such difference? Is it possible to keep this control between kernel upgrades?

Re: [SOLVED] mic led behavior on dell laptop

I just discovered that there is (since Mar'21) a control interface under /sys/class/sound/ctl-led/mic/mode.
But I failed to alter mode and can't find any docs on it.

Suddenly, solved!

'follow-route' should be written into  /sys/class/sound/ctl-led/mic/mode.
