By non-Linux system vendors?  My understanding has been that for audio
people are just unwilling to provide the level of firmware description
required to avoid quirks, there was some limited stuff with the NHLT
table but it still required system software to quirk things.  If there's
progress elsewhere perhaps the relevant people can be persuaded to have
another go...
