Thanks Ranjani. That information closes the door on the idea of playing 
with the trigger order suggested earlier in the thread, so my guess is 
that we really need to expose the MCLK/BCLK with the clk API and turn 
them on/off from the machine driver as needed. I hope is that we don't 
need the FSYNC as well, that would be rather painful to implement.
