Hrm, that's fairly common for hardware - even with shared LRCLK many
devices will be able to support asymmetric rates providing there are
enough BCLKs to drive the data.  Presumably the only limit in the codec
itself is going to be that whatever the PLL is set for will be the
maximum.

Being a bit stricter than is required probaly won't hurt; someone can
always relax things later on if required.

Yes, that's the issue that Daniel is fixing here - it's not possible to
change the clocking (or at least the PLL) while a DAC or ADC is active.
