What are these captures actually of? The current mainline driver does
not support master mode so whatever you're capturing won't have been
generated by the i.MX. If you've implemented master mode it'd be nice
to post the patch for this...

If I remember correctly the I2S slave mode isn't exactly I2S compliant
either and is actually just setting up similar settings to override
other registers. I could be wrong, or this could have changed in later
i.MXs.
Most of the generic serial ports with an I2S mode aren't actually doing
proper I2S but are rather configuring things that look close to it -
it's common for them to not be able to tolerate extra BCLKs, for
example.
