Why is this using of_platform_populate()?  That's a very odd way of
doing things.

Make this visible if it can be selected from DT so it can be used with
generic cards.

Why does this need to be checked like this?  We don't normally have this
sort of code to check that the parent is correct.

What does this actually do?  No information is being passed in to the
core function here, not even any information on if it's starting or
stopping.  Looking at the rest of the code I can't help thinking it
might be clearer to inline this possibly with a lookup helper, the code
is very small and the lack of parameters makes it hard to follow.

S/PDIF.
