This patch adds S/PDIF input/output for mvebu DT boards.

Right, so if this goes in, then we're completely fucked for doing this the way that Mark apparantly wants it to be done, because once these DT properties go in, they're there to stay.
Indeed!
The DT properties I propose just reflect the hardware connections of the board. There are only i2s-out and spdif-out in the Cubox, while there may be kirkwood boards with, say, only spdif-in and spdif-out.
These definitions do not interfere with your DPCM problem: you assume i2s-out and spdif-out for the i2s1 dove device, and that is what I assume too, but from the DT. Then, the driver does not need to know the type of the audio device (Kirkwood or Dove), nor to know if it is the first or the second i2s device of the Dove chip.
