The audio codec typically used for the MSM8916 SoC is split into two parts: the digital codec is part of the SoC, while the analog codec is part of the PM8916 PMIC.
The analog codec in the PMIC has no direct connection to the mclk of the SoC (GCC_CODEC_DIGCODEC_CLK). As the name of the clock suggests this is supplied to the digital part of the codec. During playback it will use this clock to transmit the audio data via the "CDC PDM" pins to the PMIC. In this case the analog codec indirectly receives the clock signal through the digital codec.
GCC_CODEC_DIGCODEC_CLK is already managed by the driver of the digital part of the codec in the SoC. Having this clock on the analog PMIC part additionally is redundant and incorrect because the analog codec cannot receive the clock signal without going through the digital codec.
