[PATCH v2] Behringer UFX1604 / UFX1204: get rid of unneeded implicit feedback and pops and clicks while on 96000hz

More complete patch disabling unneeded implicit feedback and setting
clock selector to default clock on rate change for UFX1604

After re-reading https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199327 it
is even more clear to me that implicit feedback for the
UFX1604/UFX1204 needs to be disabled.

This is a more complete patch that disables that and for the UFX1604
only sets the clock selector to its pin 1 default clock synced to the
USB SOF upon rate change. This is needed because apparently the
endpoints are hardwired to the clock selector and after we change the
rate on the main USB SOF synced clock the clock selector is left in a
halfway state in regards to the sampling rate.

That's why the pops and clicks aren't evident at stock 48000Hz, become
slightly audible at 44100Hz and detestable at 96000Hz. Seems the clock
selector needs a nudge or it will screw up the sync.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the lsusb -v of the UFX1204 soI'm
waiting for someone to share it here in the list or in the bugzilla
thread. This patch needs some more love from the community.

This one has been bugging me for quite a while. I went deep hard in
the guts of ALSA to try to solve it, and it turned out to be a minor
thing apparently. The problem is old, and every UFX1604 Linux user can
attest that it's impossible to use 96000hz in DUPLEX mode without
annoying pops and clicks on the capture stream.

The fix is simple: after we alter the CLOCK_SOURCE to match our sample
rate, let's tell the CLOCK_SELECTOR we want CLOCK_SOURCE 212 (synced
to USB SOF) on pin 1. Solves the problem for me, no more pops and
clicks while on 96000hz.
