That's not really that helpful for a distro kernel (this is for Fedora

Yes, this is unfortunate as it means that something is going to lose sound
support in Fedora. :( It's probably going to be the Chromebook unless another
group starts screaming louder.

Debian will be in the same boat too, there's another release coming
soon.

It's not necessarily terribly complicated to enable this codec:
- we could borrow code from the existing code from the cht_bsw_max98090_ti machine driver which relies on the dpcm driver.
- the patches developed for Baytrail-Cr will provide support for the 19.2MHz MCLK needed by this codec, they should land on the alsa-devel mailing list this afternoon or early next week.
The main issue is to find hardware and someone with bandwidth to do the changes.
