How to enable headset media and volume control on laptops with TRRS jacks?

Many modern laptops like the Dell XPS, starting with the XPS 9550 dating back to 2015, use a 3.5mm TRRS jack that combines headphone and microphone audio connections. Many of these sound cards also support the same multimedia and volume control with headsets designed against the Android Accessory Specification [1] using a network of voltage dividers and pulldown resistors.
Existing audio drivers in Windows 10 already support this hardware, as I've personally verified before on windows with the same machine, and can be attested to elsewhere [2, 5]. Previous questions pertaining to equivalent to linux support seem to be factually dated [4], or unresolved [3].
I'd like to ask how one would go about adding support for headset media and volume control with compatible TRRS hardware on Linux to match the same functionality offered by other OSs.

You need a driver, and there's none now.
