Not really since the codec has only field to specify the data format. The
codec can not support S24_LE (S24_LE is basically S32_LE msbits==24) since we
can not say to the codec to ignore the 8bit over the 24 bits of real data.
In case of S24_3LE the I2S bus will have 24 clocks/per channel which can not
be used to stream S24_LE either.
