We generally accept both iface types for IEC958 stuff, since
historically many drivers have already mixed them up.  So it's no
problem :)

All look good, and feel free to take my reviewed-by tag

As said previously, my only slight concern is the compatibility.
But, in the current situation with PulseAudio, only few people would
use this driver, so it shouldn't be so big impact, I suppose.

BTW, which port is used in general on BYT/CHT?

Oh, also, I suppose you want to carry these over i915 tree?
I don't mind either way, I can take them through sound tree if
preferred, too.


thanks,
