Would it work if there is some set_mclk(int enable) callback in struct
aic3x_setup_data, then codec->write in aic3x_init points to higher level
aic3x_write_xxx which takes care of calling set_mclk(1) when needed and call
aic3x_write? Also delayed set_mclk(0) can be put into aic3x driver.

Machine driver can then decide will it provide the callback.
