Thanks for taking a look!

Yes, that sounds correct.

Hmm, probably also a missing conversion to devicetree. The symbol used to be 

 config SND_SOC_SAMSUNG_SMDK_SPDIF
        tristate "SoC S/PDIF Audio support for SMDK"
-       depends on SND_SOC_SAMSUNG && (MACH_SMDKC100 || MACH_SMDKC110 || MACH_SMDKV210 || MACH_SMDKV310 || MACH_SMDK4212)
+       depends on SND_SOC_SAMSUNG
        select SND_SAMSUNG_SPDIF

We still support all four of the above boards, but they are all DT-only
and neither spdif.c nor smdk-spdif.c ever gained DT support. Is there
anything I should change in this patch for this?
