OK. But it seems to me that the codec is not tied to the board, but
rather to the audio connector / transmitter.

In the case of the tda998x HDMI transmitter, either i2s or s/pdif may
be used, thanks to the actual codecs 'hdmi' and 'spdif tx'. But they
don't work the same way: the 'hdmi' codec handles both playback and
record, and recording is disabled by program in the sound device,
while the 'spdif tx' codec is selected by the codec-dai-name
("dit-hifi" - it is "dir-hifi" for recording). It would be nice if
these codecs would have the same behaviour...
