Ah, I see.

More observations:

I can't change this setting any more:

gta04:~# amixer set 'Codec Operation Mode' 'Option 1 (audio)'
amixer: Invalid command!
gta04:~#

And amixer -q set "Analog Left Main Mic" nocap makes the "noise" disappear (with a tiny delay).

So this indeed needs specialist work.

I.e. I will leave out this patch from the new hw-validation until we have clarified (I might find some time myself after FOSDEM - but I am not at all claiming to be an ALSA specialist).
