Wasn't the proposal to add a new mode where the machine driver *could*
choose to delgate PLL selection to the CODEC driver rather than do so
unconditionally?

The patch looked like the idea was that as soon as the machine driver
configures the PLL the CODEC driver will stop touching it which looked
like a reasonable way of doing it, you could also do it with an explicit
SYSCLK value (which would have to be 0 for generic machine drivers to
pick it up) but this works just as well and may even be better.  Perhaps
I misread it though.
