You probably mean imx_ssi_set_dai_fmt(), imx_ssi_set_dai_tdm_slot()
and imx_ssi_set_dai_sysclk(). We do not have the playback/record
information available in these functions. Should we pass a struct
snd_pcm_substream * to the functions?

Unfortunately I do not have a mx31ads available, so I can't provide a
driver for this board. I never used master mode, but if I understand the
datasheet correctly the SSI unit has two clock inputs, one for the
register accesses which gets enabled by clk_enable and one for the baud
rate which doesn't get touched by the driver atm. Have you checked that
the baud clock is configured correctly?
If you have by chance a mx27ads or a mx35 3stack board I could see that
I make the driver work on one of these boards.
