Adds SNDRV_PCM_RATE_24000 at the bottom to keep backward compability with alsa library.

No. Such a fancy rate has to be handled inside the driver locally instead of adding to the common rate.
It's not that crazy, this is supported in the HDaudio spec:
Sample Base Rate Divisor (DIV): 000 = Divide by 1 (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz) 001 = Divide by 2 (24 kHz, 22.05 kHz)
I am not sure why 22.05 made the cut and not 24 kHz, they are both derived from common clocks with the same divider... Same for 11.025 and 12...
I'm not against supporting it. It'd be fine if it were the changes that are applied only to HD-audio driver side. What I'm against is to change the ALSA PCM core. It's not necessarily done there at all.
Humm, out of curiosity what is the issue here? Would this addition break anything? I don't personally care too much but I've never quite understood why the ALSA core only defined a subset of 'common' rates.
It's simply a policy that we don't add a thing just because one driver wants for some reason possibly no one would actually use.
In general such a core stuff is changed only when it has to be and inevitably necessary, and/or it'd be benefit for all the rest and majority users.
