Set GCK's parent clock as audio clock, make sure the GCK's parent clock is audio clock.

Why are we doing this in the driver? This should be done by whatever creates the clock tree, not by the driver that uses the clocks - that way if some future SoC has a different clock tree the driver will continue to work.

You are right. The GCK's parent clock should be assigned in device tree, not in the driver. The DT binding for classD should be modified to set the GCK's parent clock as audio clock. Thank you.
