You know why I did not insert the DPCM code in the kirkwood driver: it
does not work. But, as I tested it end 2013, I still have the code.
Do you want I propose a patch?

Sorry, I still don't see why only S/PDIF should be supported on the
Cubox. I have both, and both are working on HDMI. I hope someone will
tell me it also works on S/PDIF: there is no reason it could not.

I don't see your technical reasons: you know the constraints of each
protocol I2S and S/PDIF. If you don't want I2S, just don't declare it
in the DT (see my previous mail). You may also note that I did not put
any change relative to the Cubox DT in my patch.
