I understand. This should have been supported by simple-card since the
beginning. When we tried to move all boards to use simple-card, we hit the
wall by not being able to select and configure other sysclk_id than 0.
I don't want to create yet another simple card which handles only sysclk_id 1 ;)
On the other hand this ABI is backwards compatible since if it is missing it
will default to the configuration we right now have regarding to sysclk_dir
and sysclk_id.

I will look at the CCF implementation for McASP first then for aic3x.
