The PLL in the codec relies on MCLK. The MCLK rate can be specified/configured
by a machine driver using the relevant codec sysclk function, as is done in a
number of drivers. Surely that has to happen first before we configure the PLL
as the PLL functions needs to know what rate is coming in so the correct
dividers can be applied for the required internal clocking to match up with the
desired sample rates. I guess I'm still missing something regarding your
discussion around SYSCLK?
