That just means that your BIOS has disabled these devices. Unless there
is a menu somewhere in BIOS setup to enable these, there is nothing we
can do in the kernel to make them appear.

OK. So I think that this particular machine, either does not have Intel
LPSS (it is not Haswell-LP) or the devices have been deliberately
disabled for some reason.
