ADV7511_REG_AUDIO_CFG3(0x14) register definition in datasheet and the 
code in this driver suggest that It only supports 16Bit and 24Bit samples.

May be we can do that to make the user happy but isn't this just 
truncate the resolution to 24Bit then?

And it's a false indication that we are supporting 32bit samples.
Which am not very happy with.

Nothing to do with DT or other driver, adv7533 audio driver does not 
support 32 bit sample size which is why it would return -EINVAL from
adv7511_hdmi_hw_params().

This patch is fixing the loose ends, by which I mean the card would 
report the exact supported sample sizes to user rather than every thing 
in the I2S_FORMATS list.
