In the individual case, maybe. However, assuming codec vendor and subsystem are correctly matched, a distro could make a long list of Codec SSID to model mappings, write down that in the patch file format, and supply that patch file. One could then add mappings as a minor distro update without having to recompile the kernel.
Excellent point, although the idea of maintaining a massive "firmware" file is somewhat scary.
