This driver never worked before this patchset, hence there is nothing to
backport, this is explained in the cover letter. But in general you're
correct.

That's not going to stop the stable people backporting things, and I'd
guess it might've worked at some point on some systems - I'm not seeing
anything that jumps out as making the driver completely unworkable in
your patches.

I can change commit message with the "fix" word removed, this should
prevent patch from backporting.

I wouldn't count on it TBH.  In any case, definitely no need to resend
for this alone.

This driver never worked in mainline because S/PDIF device was never
created, thus driver was never bound. Driver doesn't work properly
without this patch. Nobody used this driver as-is before this patchset.

Someone might've been using it with an out of tree board file, I guess
on an older stable at this point.
