Use dev_err_probe() for probe error handling where appropriate to
simplify the code and properly handle deferred probe.
Also remove redundant error messages when the called helper already
reports failures, returning the error directly to avoid duplicate
logging.

This is pretty long line. Message should go on the next line.

ctx->base = devm_platform_ioremap_resource(pdev, 0);
if (IS_ERR(ctx->base))
return PTR_ERR(ctx->base);

Here you are changing error value and commit message is not saying anything about it.

init_waitqueue_head(&ctx->chsts_q);
dai_drv = &xlnx_spdif_rx_dai;
}
ret = of_property_read_u32(node, "xlnx,aud_clk_i", &ctx->aclk);

return ret;
- }

And this is another case. Where origin code didn't return any error which was wrong. That's also not described in commit message and likely this should have Fixed tag.

Thanks,
