The best way to handle this is to try to support both fixed and variable

MCLK only if the MCLK has been set to a non-zero value. They have the
machine drivers reset the clock rate to 0 when it goes idle so that no
constraints are applied then. This means that if the machine has a

In my understanding, fixed and variable clock both use set_sysclk() for
telling their MCLK to codec driver. For fixed MCLK cases we need to
apply constraint but for variable MCLK cases we should not set
constraints at set_sysclk(). How can we identify these two cases...?

Like I say it's usually done by settingthe MCLK to 0 when not in use and
then not applying any constraints if there's no MCLK set.


Ah... I understand. Current implementation refuses MCLK == 0.
I'll change to accept MCLK == 0 for fixed clock users and send v3 patch.
