Ok, I'll pay attention to that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't find any system using variable clock
with this codec.
The sam9g20ek (soc/atmel/sam9g20_wm8731.c) is not using a crystal, but
it's using a fixed clock anyway.
But there's soc/pxa/corgi.c and soc/pxa/poodle.c that puzzle me.
They seems to use a crystal, but they are setting a different sysclk
depending on the rate.
That seems wrong, but as I'm a newbie in ASoC...
