Are we sure this is the best thing to do here?  There is standard
clocking behaviour specified in AC'97 so if the machine driver clocking
control includes that it's not clear that we want to vary it.  In any
case a clearer changelog explaining that the driver never worked due to
these clocking changes would be good.
