What this driver did / does is essentially to allow attaching AC'97 bus
to ASoC AC'97 controllers which don't do it on its own (from what I can
see only board files do it).

This driver originally constrained rates to 8000, 11025, 22050, 44100,
48000.

An alternative would be to remove this constraint at all from this
driver and leave such constraining for controller and AC'97 bus code.

But since this driver was originally limited to these rates I think it
would be safer to do it only when instantiated via OF.
