Thanks for the scoop. I've added "options snd-hda-intel
probe_mask=0x105" to /etc/modules-d/alsa.conf. Unfortunately that
didn't help. The ALC892 didn't show up. Why the log below says
"codec_mask forced to 0x5" but I've explicitly set the value to 0x105 I
don't know.

This means BIOS trying to hide this codec by some reason. It's seen
sometimes in the past although it's rare.
You can forcibly probe it via probe_mask=0x105 option for
snd-hda-intel module in this case.
If this is confirmed to work reliably, we can add a static quirk table
in the driver cideo.
