Yup, I knew those features but am unaware of any situation where they drive out IEC958 - they just run I2S, SPI, TDM (?) Also, IMO, it would make more sense to implement it as a Virtual card independent of ASoC(outside of linux/sound/soc/), with number of devices equalling the number of shifters registered.
