I could change that but it now might be too late since the patch has been
merged in v4.12-rc1. Sorry, I couldn't get back to this earlier.

"i2s_rclk" is a clock exposed by the I2S controller.

The RCLK clock has already assigned clock parent in DT:

&i2s0 {
	assigned-clocks = <&i2s0 CLK_I2S_RCLK_SRC>;
	assigned-clock-parents = <&clock_audss EXYNOS_SCLK_I2S>;
};

In fact the sound card is not a consumer of this clock, the clock is used
only internally in the I2S device.  I could try to drop it and use ASoC
internal API for CPU DAI clock setting.

But I have no idea what else could be done with the PLL, it belongs to
the audio card and the card driver must somehow get hold of that clock
to configure its frequency depending on audio sampling rate.

Yes, I will remove these, that's a leftover from initial versions
of the binding.
