I've manually crippled the code that enables the digital output 
(commented out the following lines in patch_via.c at line 846 ish):

	if (spec->autocfg.dig_out_pin)
		spec->multiout.dig_out_nid = VT1708_DIGOUT_NID;
	if (spec->autocfg.dig_in_pin)
		spec->dig_in_nid = VT1708_DIGIN_NID;

This hasn't helped, beyond removing the last_cmd message from dmesg. 
Back to the drawing board for me.
