I guess there are multiple ways to do this.  Because the rcar_sound
was already expecting a reference to audio_clk_a, it seemed less
intrusive this way. The way I proposed, we can use the default
rcar_sound clocking and just change the audio_clk node to enable the
versaclock output.  The versaclock is driving the audio_clk_a
reference clock, so it seemed appropriate to put it there.

If you want me to change, I will.
