Clocks were added to the DT after the Tegra AC97 driver was initially
pushed upstream and the layout changed a bit in the process. Stephen
Warren convinced me that it's the right thing to let the Audio PLL be
controlled by the ASoC machine driver, rather than the AC97 host
controller driver.

So currently the host controller driver asks for clocks that aren't
there in the DT. This change corrects the clock handling so that the
host controller driver only ask for it's own clock, but the Audio PLL
handling is pushed into the machine driver.
