Hi, Krzysztof,

Could I use the dummy spdif codec [1][2] which is already upstream? The dummy
spdif codec is really compatible with the one which JH7110 PWM-DAC needed.
They are mostly similar.

[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/linux,spdif-dit.yaml
[2] sound/soc/codecs/spdif_transmitter.c

In that way, patch 1 & 2 can be dropped and patch 5 will be modified as follows.

+	pwmdac_dit: pwmdac-dit {
+		compatible = "linux,spdif-dit";
+		#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
+	};
+
+	sound {
+		compatible = "simple-audio-card";
+		simple-audio-card,name = "StarFive-PWMDAC-Sound-Card";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+			format = "left_j";
+			bitclock-master = <&sndcpu0>;
+			frame-master = <&sndcpu0>;
+
+			sndcpu0: cpu {
+				sound-dai = <&pwmdac>;
+			};
+
+			codec {
+				sound-dai = <&pwmdac_dit>;
+			};
+		};
+	};

Best regards,
Hal
