No, this is a bad idea - you shouldn't be callings ops in drivers
outside of the framework, something is going to break on you there.
Either the drivers or the frameworks are going to get surprised by
things getting called out of sequence, for example I'd not rely on the
fact that the CODEC would be outputing a clock without active audio.
This probably means that you're going to have to extend the framework in
some way, or refactor things so that the BCLK is exported as a clock by
the CODEC and reflect the relationships via the clock API.  I need to
think a bit more but I think the clock API is going to be the the best
solution.

I also suspect that some work is needed to propagate constraints between
the various DAIs in the system.
