On the board I only see one mclk output which name is "GPPD23/I2S_MCLK". I will
use ssp1_mclk instead since rt5514 is also use it when enabling DSP voice wake up
function.

I've talked to Realtek people about this issue. They said rt5514 requires explicit
clock control over mclk in its rt5514_set_bias_level() function which explains
why this patch could fix the issue but the patch seems to be an overkill. I will upload
another patch which touches mclk only in card's set_bias_level() function . Thanks
for the review.
