To be clear ASoC sound cards are physical devices which exist in the
real world.

It's not a subsystem issue, it's an issue with the half baked support
for enumerating modern audio hardware on ACPI systems.  Unfortunately
we have to enumerate hardware based on having data tables instantiated
via DMI information for the system which doesn't work well with a
generic kernel like Linux, on Windows they're per-machine custom
drivers.  There is some effort at putting some of the data into ACPI
tables on newer systems which is helping a lot but it's partial.
