The notion of stock kernel is misleading, it all depends on what options
are selected.

Indeed the distros don't seem to have a proper communication channel
with driver developers to make sure the options make sense. We just had
a case with Ubuntu where HDaudio support was removed due to the
selection of an option explicitly marked as 'use at your own risk'

We'll try to make the options more self-explanatory, in the mean time,
can you please try and confirm the hypothesis that it's indeed a Kconfig
option issue
