SOF does not support Skylake and Kabylake, and only the Up2 board for 
APL. I am not sure what you mean by 'recent' kernels since this dynamic 
selection has been in place for a year now?

At any rate, to make this work again:

1. You can select SND_SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE or alternatively to be more 
accurate:

SND_SOC_INTEL_SKL
SND_SOC_INTEL_APL
SND_SOC_INTEL_KBL

There are known issues with Conexant codecs, typically on HP devices, 
only Realtek codecs are supported.

2. In addition you will need to have the topology for SKL/KBL w/ HDaudio 
codecs. It's in alsa-topology-conf but would need to be compiled and 
installed.

3. UCM files should be already handled in alsa-ucm-conf	

Hope this helps
