This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed- artful'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

I don't think it should be enabled by default (better to fail the probe rather than get questions from users that they have no sound)." I also investigated this issue on my own, if our kernel is running on a platform which has a codec and the codec is supported by the existing driver, enabling this config will not bring side effect; if the platform has a codec but the codec is not supported by existing driver yet, the driver will fallback to this NOCODEC_MACH if this config is enabled, and snd-soc-sst-byt-cht-nocodec.ko will be loaded into the kernel, then user is easily confused that the kernel driver is loaded but I can't hear sound from the codec.
