It does feel right to have some sort of check for a valid sysclk so that
there's some software level documentation for the requirement since it's
easy to set up an ASoC driver without reading the datasheet for the part
so it's helpful if the driver can flag up broken configurations to them.

The reason for worrying about where set_sysclk() is called from is that
if you are going to have a check like that the user needs to call
set_sysclk() before the check is performed to ensure that the correct
configuration has been applied.
