Also, this isn't validating the params passed by the application.
The application cannot pass us "bad" params that would cause pll_config
to fail.

The only way the pll_config could fail is if the SoundWire core code
chose a SWIRE_CLK that CS42L42 cannot support. This should never happen
and if it does it means there's an error in the ACPI or the machine
driver.
