Russell also mentioned to get rid of "i2s" and use "audio" instead. Most SoC's controllers are i2s only but as soon as SPDIF comes into play, it is a different interface protocol. I am fine with having a "marvell,channel-id" (no "i2s") to discriminate the instances, although reg offset should be sufficient. Jean-Francois: Can you please also rename the DT nodes to "audio0" and "audio1" instead?
