Hi Maxime,

thanks for the review. I'm starting to prep a v4 patch series and I'm
here wondering if I should drop the spdif-in/out for now and just rely
on the status property to enable playback. It would simplify the
driver even more and it could be added back when someone gets around
to delivering spdif capture. I think that's going to be pretty low on
my list of things to do as I've only got one dev board where it's
possible.
