The current drivers should work fine with this. You can create a card with
two DAI links

static struct snd_soc_dai_link dai_links[] = {
	{
		.name = "S/PDIF TX",
		.stream_name = "S/PDIF PCM Playback",
		.platform_name = "your-platform",
		.cpu_dai_name = "your-cpu-dai",
		.codec_dai_name = "dit-hifi",
		.codec_name = "spdif-dit",
	}, {
		.name = "S/PDIF RX",
		.stream_name = "S/PDIF PCM Playback",
		.platform_name = "your-platform",
		.cpu_dai_name = "your-cpu-dai",
		.codec_dai_name = "dir-hifi",
		.codec_name = "spdif-dir",
	},
};
