Have you checked that pinmux was configured correctly?

You are missing a

pinctrl-names = "default";

to actually execute the above pinmux setting.

Could be clock setup stability issues on si5351. Will check that later
with a scope, maybe I also check spdif output rate with it too.

What about trying to get 48kHz working first? Does it work with
internal DCO and 48kHz? External audio clock should be 256*fs as stated
in dove datasheet.

Sorry, I don't understand the above "information". How can you have a
different input audio rate tested with 44k1 output rate?

Have you ever tested your audio equipment with something different than
48k and 44k1 SPDIF PCM? Are you actually sure it works at all, i.e. do
you have different audio source with SPDIF >48kHz? Can you try optical
SPDIF instead of HDMI?

Just try to narrow it down, currently I cannot see why this behavior
should be limited to either si5351 or dove audio alone.
