It's not clear to me why the solution here is to move the configuration
to the sound card rather than to improve the I2S driver to be able to
cope with whatever the restrictions are on the PSR in these systems - it
seems more cumbersome for system integrators, especially since you've
not documented the issues or how to configure it.  Could you expand on
what the constraints are here and why it's not possible for the driver
to figure things out (given some quirk information)?
