Atm, the machine driver would have to enable any system clocks before
the codec driver could use them.

However, I think one of the intentions of the clk framework rework is to
allow non CPU clocks like CODEC PLLs to register as clocks and have
their dependencies worked out. I've no idea of the status of this atm,
but maybe Mark knows or you could ask on lkml.
