Okay, I will add this information to the next version. We see this error
on an Apalis iMX6 which has in my variant an NXP i.MX6Q SoC.

So the problem is that before commit d469b771afe1 ("ARM: dts: imx6:
update spdif sound card node properties") the audio driver was
using an implementation of linux,spdif-dit and linux,spdif-dir which was
directly inside the fsl,imx-audio-spdif compatible driver. Now with the
referenced commit the idea is to use the more generic linux,spdif-dir
and linux,spdif-dit compatible drivers. That's why this driver must be
enabled in the kernel configuration.

It is not just the error message, audio is not working because the
driver deferes and because it is not enabled it will never succeed to
load. I don't know if this is called a regression, because the driver is
there it is just not enabled in the imx6_v7_defconfig. I thought because
a lot of the i.MX6 based board use the generic driver, it makes sense to
enable it in the imx_v6_v7_defconfig.

Here the output of git stat to show which boards are most likely showing
the same behavior as the Apalis iMX6 with the current
imx_v6_v7_defconfig:
git show d469b771afe1 --stat
