I would expect that the clock for the CODEC should be managed by the
CODEC if at all possible - that seems more logical than having the CPU
I2S controller request and manage it if it's a separate clock.  Why add
this to the CPU side driver?

We've not always done this for older systems due to the lack of a usable
clock API but that's starting to be addressed.
