>From what I gather, these are described using SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_A
and SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_B dai formats, and the parameters are
controlled not through snd_soc_dai_set_bclk_ratio() but via
snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot().

So, IMHO, the TDM formats should be disregarded from consideration
here.  Mark, ack?
