Yes. For the Cubox, the card will be described by something like:

	sound {
		compatible = "simple-audio";
		audio-controller = <&audio1>;
		audio-codec = <&spdif>;
		codec-dai-name = "dit-hifi";
	};

with:

	spdif: spdif {
 		compatible = "linux,spdif-dit";
	};

Then, the audio driver will know about s/pdif on the first open.
