Alright, I'll keep this in mind for a potential v2. I guess Rob may ask
to remove the assigned-clocks from S/PDIF DT binding because I just
found that there is no needed to specify that property explicitly anymore.

I'm very doubtful. Still, this patch could be easily backported because
all code refactoring changes that potentially may cause merge conflicts
are made after this patch. Ideally, if we really needed to backport this
patch, then it should've been one of the first patches as you suggested.
