If you remove support for all other baytrail options this driver should still be there and selectable. We just can't support both this driver for Chromebooks and the rest for other machines with the same distribution at the moment.
That sounds like a regression, what's the plan to fix it.
The simple fix is easy: disable all other codecs and the BYT_MAX98090 option will be enabled. BYT_MAX98090 relies on the 'old' non-dpcm driver which is used only for Chromebooks with Baytrail, which never enable any other codecs, so there was never any issue before.
That's not really that helpful for a distro kernel (this is for Fedora AIUI).
If there is a need for concurrency, then a new machine driver based on the dpcm Atom driver needs to be created. I don't have a Baytrail chromebook so don't want to commit on the change.
Presumably someone at Intel has one (or could get one)?
