I'm not sure that this limitation is needed.
I already used ADV7513 and i did not observe this limitation.

I had a look to ADV7533 data-sheet. it should support 32 and 64 bits I2S
format bus, with 16 or 24 bits precision sample. So it should support
SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_LE and SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_BE

As example, if you configure bus in Left justified format with 24 bits
sample length, 32 bits application samples should be truncated to 24
bits samples at ADV7533 I2S interface level (LSB dropped).

Perhaps i missed something... but look like more an I2S bus
configuration issue in your DT card description, that that a miss in the
drivers.
