Hi Shawn,

   Sorry for my late reply.

I understand your concern. This route decides the source of mclk2,

955                         sai1: sai at 021d4000 {
956                                 compatible = "fsl,imx6sx-sai";
957                                 reg = <0x021d4000 0x4000>;
958                                 interrupts = <GIC_SPI 97 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
959                                 clocks = <&clks IMX6SX_CLK_SAI1_IPG>,
960                                          <&clks IMX6SX_CLK_SAI1>,
961                                          <&clks 0>, <&clks 0>;
962                                 clock-names = "bus", "mclk1", "mclk2", "mclk3";

So it doesn't make sense to me if putting it in the audio driver as
it then would be out of the clock tree.

I'm not familiar with the current platform code. Is that possible we
put it in the clock tree? Would you please give me and Zidan another
hint for the implementation?

Thanks a lot
Nicolin
