 			  Transceiver Clock Diagram" of SoC reference manual.
 			  It can also be referred to TxClk_Source bit of
 			  register SPDIF_STC.
+	"spba"		  The spba clock is required when SPDIF is placed as a
+			  bus slave of the Shared Peripheral Bus and when two
+			  or more bus masters (CPU, DMA or DSP) try to access
+			  it. This property is optional depending on the SoC
+			  design.
 
    - big-endian		: If this property is absent, the native endian mode
 			  will be in use as default, or the big endian mode
