The sound tree is at:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/

You can use the master branch now, it has been merged there.

Often you can just copy the sound/pci/hda directory from a newer kernel
and then build the modules for the current kernel
("make -C/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD") with only minimal
changes and possibly disabling unused modules in Makefile.
