Previous `imx-spdif` driver used the dummy codec instead of using declared spdif codecs. It was discussed in previous version of this contribution that using the dummy codec isn't good practice. So one to one backward compatibility isn't really possible.
Heh, that's not good. This is improvement, cleanup. While it is important and useful, it should also not break existing users.
Should I introduce then the use of the dummy codec in `fsl-asoc-card` to assure backward compatibility at least for a time ? With maybe warning messages in code to indicate that spdif codecs drivers should be declared and used in the future ?
If it is doable (reasonable code), then yes, please keep backwards compatibility with old DTS.
