Would quite like to see Mark's thoughts on this. Feels a bit to
me (although I am not certain) like we are solving the problem in
the wrong place, isn't this really setting the desired BCLK and
then in wm8960_configure_clocking we should set the lowest BCLK
we can that is greater than or equal to the desired.

Thanks,
Charles
