Indeed this commit (e920c36f2073 ("ASoC: Intel: boards: fix unmet
dependency on PINCTRL")) was backported to v6.19.12~236 = de7076a98502
and also to v6.12.81~176 = 8b079642413d. Older kernels that are relevant
for Debian are not affected, as the commit that introduced the issue is
only in 6.11-rc1 (i.e. v6.11-rc1~108^2~6^2~75^2 = c073f0757663).

(Though our 6.1 kernel has SND_SOC_INTEL_SOUNDWIRE_SOF_MACH=m but the
two CS42L43 not enabled. I didn't research if these exist there already
and are needed, too. Might be worth a look from someone with that
hardware.)

I created a MR for this at
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1942

Best regards
Uwe
