This most likely means your CPU side configuration is broken and clocks
aren't being routed through.  Try looking at the AUDMUX debugfs files to
verify your configuration, and also try routing out to another external
SSI port so you can probe signals.  Make sure the relevant pins on the
i.MX are configured into the appropriate mode for use by the i.MX too.

Note also that the current driver only supports CODEC as clock master.
