Thanks a lot for fixing the DT and binding docs, the register range
and clock changes look fine to me.

While testing with a simple card DT overlay I noticed another
issue: the i2s node is missing the #sound-dai-cells property
and simple card refuses to load because of that:

[    0.956912] OF: /sound/simple-audio-card,cpu: could not get #sound-dai-cells for /soc/i2s at 7e203000

As bcm2835-i2s has only a single DAI I think that property should
be set to 0:

With this additional change I could successfully test the following
overlay with a PCM5102 codec attached to a RPi B+:

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
    compatible = "brcm,bcm2835";

    fragment at 0 {
        target = <&i2s>;
        __overlay__ {
            status = "okay";
        };
    };

    fragment at 1 {
        target-path = "/";
        __overlay__ {
            spdif_codec: spdif-transmitter {
                #address-cells = <0>;
                #size-cells = <0>;
                #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
                compatible = "linux,spdif-dit";
            };

            sound {
                compatible = "simple-audio-card";
                simple-audio-card,name = "simple";
                simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
                simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&dailink_master>;
                simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&dailink_master>;

                dailink_master: simple-audio-card,cpu {
                        sound-dai = <&i2s>;
                };

                simple-audio-card,codec {
                        sound-dai = <&spdif_codec>;
                };
            };
        };
    };
};

BTW: this overlay will work without any hardware attached, you
just need to enable SND_SIMPLE_CARD and SND_SOC_SPDIF (which
serves as a generic codec) in your config.

so long,

Hias
